Losing someone is a scary ordeal for one person, but when a community loses a great icon, it shatters them for a long time. In the wrestling industry, we have lost many great legends over the years. But it is harder every time. That is why seeing a legend suffer through surgeries and health scares is scary for everyone. But luckily, Jerry Lawler made it through.

Just a few days ago, the news came that Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler suffered a second heart stroke. He was immediately taken to the hospital, but no further update had come, until now.

Through his Twitter, the legend sent a positive message, saying that he was recovering and healing from the surgery. It was scarier for the community as Lawler once had a similar stroke on live TV 11 years ago. That was when Lawler was commentating alongside Cole on an episode of Monday Night Raw. It was a nightmare, and everyone hoped that it wouldn’t turn into one this time around as well. Luckily, everything is alright.

Jerry Lawler shares positive update after surgery

Lawler took to Twitter to spread his positive update. He tweeted, “Update on Jerry: After suffering a massive stroke Monday. He is now recovering in a Fort Myers, FL hospital. His speech is limited, but with rehabilitation will regain full recovery. He thanks everyone for the continued prayers and will be back in the near future.”

Alongside this message were four photos of the legend having a fun time with his friend and former colleague, Jimmy Hart. He is seeing old memorabilia from Hart’s time in the hospital and recovering. A few days ago, the news of his surgery shocked the entire community. Everyone was scared and praying for the recovery of The King. Fortunately, these prayers worked and Lawler is safe.
