Jim Ross Reveals Jerry Lawler Requires A Knee Replacement

Jim Ross has provided an update on his friend and former broadcast partner Jerry Lawler, who suffered a stroke in February. 

Speaking about The King during a recent edition of his Grilling JR podcast, Ross suggested that the duo may make appearances together on the autograph circuit once the 73-year-old gets his knee replaced. 

"Lawler was feeling better, we talked about doing some autograph shows together, a little tour, I think that's going to happen. The two of us. That combination, not sounding egocentric, there are a lot of good announcers and a lot of announcers doing their best work, which is great. I can hear some of my phraseology in everybody, certain phrases. 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," he said. 

Lawler made a non-televised appearance in front of the live crowd during last Monday's episode of Raw. The show was taking place in Jerry's hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.

Ross, meanwhile, continues to call the action for AEW. With his current contract set to expire soon, the WWE Hall of Famer has stated that he hopes to re-sign with Tony Khan's promotion.
