The WWE Universe has witnessed the rise of several wrestlers, however, not all can make a place in people’s hearts like The King did. He is one extraordinary example in the wrestling industry. Wrestling demands fitness and even at the age of 73, Jerry Lawler is set to return to the squared circle. After receiving the news, fans are thrilled to watch him wrestle in the ring after years. Even after having a near-death experience during his active wrestling days, he is not afraid to step into the ring. During this period, he once suffered a heart attack in 2012. However, The King came back pretty strong.
Fans congratulated the WWE legend for his in-ring return
This appearance by the King of Wrestling marks 53 straight years of matches for him. Without a doubt, it is one incredible accomplishment that’s rare to see, especially in an industry that demands robustness from its performers.
