WWE Jerry, 68, has stroke romping with his lover, 29
A TOP wrestler was left in intensive care and unable to speak after suffering a stroke while having sex with his much younger lover.
Jerry “The King” Lawler, 68, was struck down during a steamy session with Lauryn McBride, 29.
The WWE legend’s face was half paralysed and he was rushed to hospital just days before the mega Wrestlemania event. He told his Dinner With The King show: “I got up and I said something to Lauryn and I didn’t really feel anything, and she said: ‘What did you say?’
“And I realised then that whatever I said didn’t sound right, and then she looked at me – we made eye contact – and she said: ‘Oh my god Jerry, go look in the mirror’.
Drooping
“I walked around to the bathroom and I look in the mirror and the whole right side of my mouth is drooping all the way down to my chin.”
Horrified Lauryn then screamed: “Oh my god, you’re having a stroke!”
The tough ring star turned commentator stunned doctors with his recovery and he was discharged ® after a week. He has been dating the brunette beauty for around seven years and the scary episode happened at their Memphis home on March 21.
Jerry is one of the most iconic names in the history of professional wrestling, being a megastar during the 70s and 80s and winning a total of 168 championships in his career.
He was also the voice of WWE flagship show Monday Night Raw throughout the 1990s and 2000s.
It is not the first time medical drama has hit.
The sportsman suffered a heart attack live on Raw in 2012.
