Back in February of this year, the wrestling world was stunned by the news of WWE legend Jerry Lawler suffering a serious stroke in Fort Myers, Florida. The initial reports were worrisome, but since then, Lawler’s own updates and those from his family have been increasingly positive, indicating a promising recovery.
However, Lawler’s close friend and former colleague Jim Ross has provided a recent update on Lawler’s condition, emphasizing that the WWE Hall of Famer still has hurdles to overcome. Speaking on his Grilling JR Podcast, Ross shared:
“I talked to Lawler just the other day. He’s still struggling with his health. He’s got good doctors, and they think they have identified many of the issues, but he’s not out of the woods yet in terms of achieving a good level of health.”
Ross further described their conversation, noting that Lawler’s voice starts off weak but grows stronger as they talk and reminisce, sharing laughter and stories.
“As always when we talk, his voice starts off a little bit weak and then it gets stronger as he talks and we laugh and we tell stories with each other.”
The most recent update on Lawler’s condition was revealed by Ross on April 24, when he informed fans that Lawler was scheduled to undergo a procedure to aid in his recovery.
As Lawler continues his journey towards recovery, we at Ringside News extend our well wishes and support to Jerry “The King” Lawler.
