Jerry Lawler is hospitalized in Florida. Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com reports that Lawler went out to lunch with friends on Monday and then suffered a medical episode sometime after he returned home to his condo, which resulted in him being rushed to a nearby hospital.

Powell’s POV: Lawler’s family and friends have yet to issue a statement on his health as of this update. Obviously, we will continue to follow the story and will pass along any additional updates. Here’s wishing the 73 year-old legend the very best.

Update: WMC-TV in Memphis reports that Lawler suffered a stroke and underwent surgery. Lawler’s longtime friend Dutch Mantell shared similar news on social media and added that Lawler is expected to recover.
