Last week, Dutch Mantel said on his podcast that Jerry Lawler was not recovering as well as had been hoped from the massive stroke he suffered in February. Mantel noted that Lawler's voice had changed somewhat and he was having trouble finishing sentences."
Bill Apter provided an update on Lawler in the latest video posted by Sports Keeda WrestleBinge.
Apter said he spoke with Lawler earlier today. Apter said, "He is recovering. What Dutch said was true. His spirits were great. Jerry and I are huge horror movie fans and every time I'm on the phone with him, I've got to do this imitation of this lady of the old Invisible Man movie...I have to do that every time I call [Lawler]. So the first few weeks after he had his stroke, there was no recognition of that. Today he laughed. He said 'Hello Bill' and he asked me if I saw the Renfield movie yet. So we discussed horror movies and he mentioned that he saw Raw this past Monday night and that Logan Paul mentioned him on Monday Night Raw and he was thrilled to hear that. He did have a problem remembering parts of that segment like when he mentioned Lebron James, he couldn't mention that name. It was hard for him to finish the sentences but he's much better than when I talked to him about three weeks ago."
