WWE legend Jerry “The King” Lawler revealed he recently suffered a stroke while having sex with his fiancée.
The 68-year-old famously went into cardiac arrest live on air during Raw on September 2012 and received medical treatment at the announce table next to the ring. Now he opened up about having another stroke just three weeks before Sunday’s WrestleMania 34 — an event that saw him commentate the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
Speaking on his “Dinner With The King” podcast, Lawler described his latest scare, which came while he and partner Lauryn McBride were “expressing love for each other in a certain way.”
The King said: “I got up and I said something to Lauryn and I didn’t really feel anything, and she said, ‘What did you say?’
“And I realized then that whatever I said didn’t sound right, and then she looked at me — we made eye contact — and she said, ‘Oh my God, Jerry, go look in the mirror.’
“I walked around to the bathroom and I look in the mirror, and the whole right side of my mouth is drooping all the way down to my chin.”
Lawler says he realized he could not speak.
Lauryn then screamed: “Oh my God, you’re having a stroke.”
It was quickly discovered by doctors that the wrestling icon had a hemorrhage in his brain, and he was placed in an intensive care unit.
The incident occurred on March 21, and the grappler was unable to speak for over two days. He made a full recovery and was back to call the action at WrestleMania last weekend.
