After having it confirmed, we can now report that WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler has been hospitalized. He was experiencing chest pains and vomiting this afternoon. It became clear he needed urgent medical attention.
According to an article on MemphisPort.com, Lawler had some blood work done and is now doing fine. The report claims that Lawler is still in a Baltimore hospital and there is no word as to whether or not he will be at Old School RAW tonight as originally scheduled.
Jerry suffered a heart attack on September 10th, 2012 during a live episode of WWE RAW from the Bell Centre in Montreal. He underwent an angioplasty the following day to improve blood flow to his heart and returned to the ring just 8 months later.
Since the story above broke, WWE Hall Of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler has been released from the hospital and is back at the Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, Maryland, the site of tonight’s Old School RAW show.
As previously noted, Lawler’s son Brian Christopher, who is at Old School RAW in Baltimore tonight, noticed that his dad looked ill and informed WWE about this. WWE then encouraged Lawler to check himself into a local hospital, where he received blood work.
Michael Cole confirmed on Raw that the King had suffered a stomach bug earlier in the day and should be just fine. JBL & Cole will host Raw without the King tonight.
