New Update On Jerry Lawler’s Heath

WWE

A new update has emerged for the health of WWE’s Jerry Lawler as he recovers from a stroke suffered in February 2023.

Recently, Dutch Mantell provided an update on Lawler’s recovery, saying that he “is much better, but still not recovering as well as they would hope.”

Wrestling journalist and photographer Bill Apter has now shared an update on Lawler’s health speaking to Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, saying:

“I spoke to Jerry at about 4:30 today. Yeah, and he’s recovering…

“Jerry and I are huge horror movie fans, and every time I get on the phone with him, I’ve got to do my imitation of this old lady in The Invisible Man.

“She sees the Invisible Man without the bandages, and she goes crazy and goes,’ He’s got no face!.’

“So I have to do that every time I call. The first few weeks after he had a stroke, there was no recognition of that.

“Today, he laughed, and he said, ‘Hello, Bill’ and he asked me if I saw the new Renfield movie, and we discussed horror movies.”

Apter would also discuss Lawler’s memory when it came to a recent namedrop on WWE Raw from Logan Paul, adding:

“He mentioned that he saw RAW this past Monday night and that Logan Paul mentioned him on Monday Night RAW, and he was thrilled to hear that.

“But he did have a problem remembering parts of that segment, like when he [Paul] mentioned LeBron James, he [Lawler] couldn’t mention that name.

“Yeah, it was hard for him to finish the sentences, but he’s much better than when I talked to him about three weeks ago.”

Lawler is a WWE Hall of Famer having been inducted in the Class of 2007.

In March 2022, Lawler faced Scott Steiner at USA Pro’s 29th Anniversary Show with the match ending in no-contest.

WrestleTalk wishes Jerry Lawler all the best in his continuing recovery.
