Positive Update On Jerry Lawler's Recovery From A Stroke

WWE Hall of Famer and Jerry Lawler continues to recover from a massive stroke suffered in February, but new reports state that ‘The King’ of Memphis is doing better than first believed.

Lawler suffered the stroke in February, and a recent report from Dutch Mantell said that Lawler wasn’t recovering as well as hoped, but a follow-up from Bill Apter on Sportskeeda's Wrestling Time Machine podcast has shed some positive light on Lawler’s situation:

"He is recovering,” said Apter, who had recently spoken with Lawler. “What Dutch said was true. His spirits were great. Jerry and I are huge horror movie fans and every time I'm on the phone with him, I've got to do this imitation of this lady of the old Invisible Man movie… I have to do that every time I call [Lawler]. So the first few weeks after he had his stroke, there was no recognition of that. Today he laughed. He said 'Hello Bill' and he asked me if I saw the Renfield movie yet. So we discussed horror movies and 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. He did have a problem remembering parts of that segment like when he mentioned Lebron James, he couldn't mention that name. It was hard for him to finish the sentences but he's much better than when I talked to him about three weeks ago.”
