Jerry “The King” Lawler has spoken out for the first time since suffering a recent stroke.
Jerry Lawler was rushed to a hospital in Florida after the medical emergency took place. At his home in Fort Myers. His daughter initially confirmed the news.
For the first time since the health issue happens, Lawler spoke about the incident while appearing on FOX 13 Memphis
“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. People kept coming out of nowhere to thank me and prayed for me and everything and all of that means a great, great deal to me, and I wanna thank ‘em all for all that.”H/T to Fightful for the transcription.
This isn’t Lawler’s first health scare. The 75-year-old suffered a massive stroke in 2023, spending several days in the ICU before returning home for outpatient rehab. ESPN also reports that he experienced a stroke in 2018, and back in 2012, he collapsed on WWE “Monday Night RAW” due to a heart attack.
