Jerry “The King” Lawler Faces Another Health Challenge: Knee Replacement Surgery on the Horizon

Published on

The Wrestling Legend’s Health Journey Continues Amidst Fan Concerns

Jerry “The King” Lawler, a name synonymous with professional wrestling, has been a beacon of resilience and passion in the industry. His voice, a distinctive hallmark of an era, has echoed through arenas and television sets, making him a cherished figure among wrestling aficionados. However, recent health challenges have cast a shadow of concern among his vast fanbase.

While Lawler’s commentary stints may not be as frequent as they once were, his occasional guest appearances always evoke nostalgia. Earlier this year, fans were taken aback when news broke of Lawler suffering a stroke. This was not the first time the WWE Hall of Famer faced a health scare. 2012 a heart attack during a live Monday Night Raw broadcast sent shockwaves through the wrestling community. Michael Cole, his co-commentator, had to step in during that harrowing episode.

Fast forward to February, and Lawler faced another health challenge. He experienced paralysis moments before the stroke. Thankfully, he underwent successful surgery and was on the path to recovery. However, another surgery followed shortly after, adding to the concerns about his well-being.

In a heartwarming moment, Lawler graced the WWE Raw episode on August 28, much to the delight of fans worldwide. But the rollercoaster of health issues doesn’t seem to end for “The King.” On the “Grilling JR” podcast, Jim Ross, another legendary voice in wrestling, revealed that Lawler would require knee replacement surgery. Ross mentioned a conversation with Lawler, discussing potential autograph shows and a mini-tour. But for that to materialize, Lawler’s health would be paramount.

Ross’s words resonated with a mix of hope and concern. He said, “Talking to Jerry was great, and I think we would do really well in the autograph world if we can get Lawler healthy. With prayers and good wishes, I know he has to get his knee replaced. I don’t know when that’s going to be.”
