Jerry O'Neil Lawler (November 29, 1949) is an American professional wrestler, wrestling commentator, musician, businessman, commercial artist and film actor, known throughout the wrestling world as Jerry "The King" Lawler. He is currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), working and wrestling on its flag ship program Raw and PPV events as the color commentator. He also wrestles and occasionally commentates for the Memphis Wrestling promotion.
Lawler has won more than 140 championships throughout his career, including one reign as American Wrestling Association World Heavyweight Champion and more than 50 reigns as American Wrestling Association Southern Heavyweight Champion. Lawler held the latter championship another 17 times when the National Wrestling Alliance controlled it. He is also a three-time World Class Wrestling Association World Heavyweight Champion (United States Wrestling Association Unified World Heavyweight Champion in the third case). He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007. Overall, Lawler has held more championships than any other current WWE employee, though he has never won any WWE singles and/or tag team championships since joining the company.
During a live September 12, 2012, broadcast of Raw from Montreal, Quebec, Lawler suffered a real-life heart attack and fell unconscious while doing color commentary duties alongside Michael Cole. Paramedics, who were stationed at ringside for a match that was taking place in the ring, immediately tended to Lawler before taking him backstage on a stretcher, where CPR was administered. Lawler was taken to a Montreal hospital, where he is recovering. Lawler had been involved in a wrestling match earlier in the evening and showed no apparent signs of illness prior to falling ill.
