WWE: Dolph Ziggler Gets A Little Too Real With Jerry Lawler

02/02/2017 06:04 pm EST

Smackdown LIVE was in Memphis, TN tonight, the hometown of WWE legend, Jerry Lawler. Which is why it didn't seem that strange for the King to be used this week on TV when he hosted the Kings Court. How they used Lawler, however, had a lot of people shaking their heads. The WWE continued to push the reality era envelope when they had Dolph Ziggler as Jerry's guest.

As Ziggler digs deeper into his heel persona, he brought up the 4 year anniversary of when he gave Jerry Lawler a heart attack on RAW.

Now, for those of you that don't remember, that really happened. It wasn't Ziggler's fault, per say, but he was the last one in a match with the King before Lawler needed to be rushed to the hospital.

The WWE added fuel to the fire when Ziggler hit Lawler with a vicious superkick right in the chest to end the segment.

While this was a great way to draw more heat for Dolph Ziggler, do you think the angle was done in poor taste?
