Jim Ross spoke with Jerry Lawler on the phone this week following his stroke

Jerry Lawler is perhaps best known for his years at the broadcast table on WWE RAW alongside Jim Ross during the Attitude Era.

Despite the fact that Ross now works with All Elite Wrestling, the two remain close friends and keep in touch.

Good Ole JR recently took to social media to offer an update on Lawler and asked everyone to continue praying for The King, tweeting out:

​

"I spoke very briefly with @JerryLawler tonight. He's obviously weak but I could understand his affected speech. Jerry's prognosis is positive but needs all our thoughts and prayers. #LoveYaKing," Jim Ross said in a tweet.
