Jerry The King Lawler has had a legendary career in WWE but he almost lost his life during a 2012 episode of Monday Night Raw. While he obviously survived, it appears the medical bill for this whole ordeal was just ridiculous.
While speaking to Busted Open Radio, Jerry Lawler talked about suffering a cardiac arrest during the September 10, 2012 edition of Raw. He said he doesnt remember it at all. Michael Cole told him later that it looked like Lawler was snoring, but then he suddenly fell onto the announce table.
Lawler said what really happened was that Lawlers heart stopped beating. Luckily, there was a doctor at ringside who quickly rushed him to the hospital and got his heart working again. He said it wasnt a heart attack, his heart just stopped. Once they got it beating again, he felt fine right away.
The WWE Hall of Famer stayed in a Canadian hospital for a few days after the incident. He joked about the myth of free healthcare in Canada, saying he was billed $20,000 for his stay there but fortunately, WWE covered the cost.
Lawler did suffer a stroke a couple of years ago but he is feeling much better now even though he does have to deal with lingering issues from the stroke. Lawlers close call on WWE Raw was a serious reminder of how fast things can change, even during a live show. Hes much better now and continues to inspire fans all over the world and thats all that matters in the end.
