WWE legend Jerry "The King" Lawler comments on his health
Jerry Lawler described his recovery process last year after suffering a stroke and shared that he was attending rehab multiple times a week.
Speaking with legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Lawler was asked about his recovery from the stroke. The 74-year-old shared that his voice was not back to how it used to be but it was slowly returning to form.
"I've had a bunch of different things and I'm still in rehab three times a week, and probably the main thing that's drawing me back now, that you can probably tell as you hear me talk, my voice is not the same as it was beforehand. It's slowly coming back, but it needed to come back a little more before I could make sense with my speech and vocabulary," said Lawler. [From 00:21 - 01:04]
