While speaking with Sportskeeda, WWE veteran Dutch Mantell had the following to say about the moment he learned of Lawler's stroke:
"I think it was Monday and I started reading that Jerry Lawler had a stroke and I went, 'What the hell?' and I investigated it and it was true. The stroke wasn't true at the time, could've been a heart attack at the time, so I got to check it into it and the sheets reported that he was found face down, in his driveway in his condo in Fort Myers. Well, that's not true, he wasn't found face down and I'll tell you the story, I've said time and time again, through the years, Lawler is the luckiest I've ever known in my life," said Dutch Mantell.
