, the NBC affiliate in Memphis, reported Tuesday that Lawler suffered the stroke at his Fort Meyers home and underwent surgery. Lawler suffered another stroke in 2018, and previously suffered a heart attack at the announcer table during a live episode of WWE’s “Raw” in 2012. Jerry “the King” Lawler began his wrestling career in 1970 and still occasionally wrestles for independent promotions. He was one of the signature voices of WWE, along with broadcast partner Jim Ross, during pro wrestling’s massive surge in popularity in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Lawler also wrestled for WWE and was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2007.
“I spoke very briefly with Jerry Lawler ,” Ross tweeted early Wednesday morning. “He’s obviously weak but I could understand his affected speech. Jerry’s prognosis is positive but he needs all our thoughts and prayers.”Lawler famously feuded with comedic actor Andy Kaufman in 1982, notably slapping the comedian on “Late Night with David Letterman.” Lawler played himself in the Jim Carrey-led Kaufman biopic “Man on the Moon” in 1999.
On Jan. 28, Lawler appeared on WWE’s preshow for the Royal Rumble in San Antonio, nine days before he suffered the stroke.
