SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
WWE Hall of Fame wrestler Jerry Lawler suffered a stroke on Monday.
A report from Action News 5 in Florida confirms that Lawler had a stroke on Monday at his home in Fort Myers, Fla. and is now recovering in a Florida hospital after having surgery.
This is the second stroke Lawler has had. He also had a stroke in 2018. Prior to that, he suffered a heart attack while on commentary during an episode of WWE Raw in 2012.
Lawler is no longer a regular announcer on WWE TV, but he did appear on the Royal Rumble pre-show last month.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer posted an update on Twitter that Lawler was awake after surgery and that the situation is “very serious.”
