While it might be toxic everywhere now and then, the wrestling community always comes together whenever something tragic occurs. That is exactly what happened when WWE legend, Jerry Lawler, was going through surgery a few days ago. But the operation went through successfully and Lawler has some positive news for every one of us.
The last time that Lawler scared the entire wrestling world was when he had a heart stroke during commentary in 2012. But since then, Lawler has been healthy and worked in different aspects of WWE as well. Now, after 11 years since that fateful episode of Raw, Lawler is once again hospitalized for a heart stroke.

Lawler must be a pretty great guy to work with. That is the reason why his news of being in surgery for a heart stroke shocked everyone in the industry. Also, we know that Vince McMahon also might be praying for him, given their connection.
