Jim Ross provides update on Jerry Lawler's recovery from February stroke

Jerry "The King" Lawler continues to make progress following the stroke that he suffered this February.

In a tweet on Monday, Jim Ross provided an update on his former broadcast partner after speaking with Lawler for an hour. Ross wrote that Lawler's voice seemed to get stronger the longer they spoke -- and Lawler will be undergoing a procedure next week to help with the situation.

"Had a great one hour convo today with ⁦@JerryLawler who’s recovering from the affects of a stroke," Ross tweeted. "Jerry’s voice seem to get stronger the longer we spoke. The King will undergo a procedure next week to help his situation."

The 73-year-old Lawler suffered a massive stroke while in Florida on February 6. Lawler's speech was limited after the stroke, but it was said that he was expected to make a full recovery with rehabilitation.

Less than two months after suffering the stroke, Lawler appeared on WWE programming via a taped video that aired at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. The video was part of Andy Kaufman's induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Lawler previously suffered a stroke in 2018.

Lawler sent out a tweet last week thanking everyone who has sent their prayers and well-wishes during his stroke recovery.
