Jerry Lawler Shares Details About Health Emergency on RAW
Wrestling commentator and iconic personality Jerry “The King” Lawler offered new insight into the frightening heart incident he suffered on air during WWE RAW’s broadcast on September 10, 2012. During a recent appearance on the Busted Open Radio podcast, Lawler discussed his experience, explaining how the situation unfolded without his knowledge in the moment. He recounted the sequence live, adding to the emotionally charged recollections of fans who witnessed it.
“I don’t remember any of it. Michael Cole thought I was snoring, and then he looked over and saw me collapsing onto the announce table. What actually happened was my heart just stopped beating. Thankfully, a doctor was at ringside and rushed to help. They got me to the hospital and restarted my heart. It wasn’t technically a heart attack — my heart just stopped. But once they got it going again, I was back to normal pretty quickly.”
—Jerry Lawler, WWE Commentator
The ringside doctor was integral in providing rapid care, ensuring Lawler was stabilized and then taken to the hospital, where medical teams successfully restarted his heart. While WWE covered his $20,000 hospital costs, Lawler required an extended recovery, which kept him off the air for several weeks. The wrestling community and the crowd gave him a rousing welcome back, a level of support Lawler compared to the touching climax of “It’s A Wonderful Life.” Adding further significance to the fateful night, Lawler had participated earlier in what became his last match for WWE, marking an end to his in-ring career with the company.
