"He's not out of the woods yet" - Jim Ross provides health update on WWE legend Jerry Lawler
A health update on WWE legend Jerry Lawler has been provided by his longtime friend and former broadcast colleague, Jim Ross.
Lawler suffered a serious stroke earlier this year and has been undergoing treatment and recovery since then. While there were signs of improvement in his condition, Ross revealed that Lawler still faces challenges in his journey to full recovery.
On a recent episode of the "Grilling JR" podcast, AEW commentator Jim Ross shared that he has been in constant contact with Jerry "The King" Lawler.
"I talked to Lawler just the other day. He's still struggling with his health. He's got good doctors and they think they pinpointed a lot of the issues, but he's not out of the woods yet as far as getting back to a good degree of health. As always when we talk, his voice starts off a little bit weak and then it gets stronger as he talks and we laugh and we tell stories with each other," Ross said. [H/T - Wrestling Inc]
