Jerry Lawler is on the mend after suffering a stroke this month.
Lawler suffered a stroke at his Florida home two weeks. The health scare caused him to miss several planned convention appearances. Now, Lawler provided an update on his current health and how the incident happened.
Lawler told FOX13 Memphis that he had not been taking his medication in the days leading up to having a stroke. Although he says he’s having trouble with his vision and didn’t recognize his home, Lawler said the stroke was a “minor” one.
Despite his health setback, Lawler is feeling “pretty good” and thanked fans for their support.
“I remember lying in the bed in the hospital and when people that I knew, like family members, came in and I didn’t even recognize them,” Lawler told FOX13. “People kept coming out of nowhere to thank me and to pray for me. All of that means such a great, great deal to me and I want to thank them for all that.”
This was the third stroke that Jerry Lawler has suffered. His second one happened in early 2023. Lawler told FOX13’s Valerie Calhoun that he’s focused on his recovery and will make sure he takes his medicine this time.
Lawler is still on a WWE Legends deal, but said last year that he believes his on-air career with WWE is over. “The King” last worked as a full-time commentator for the WWE back in 2020.
