In an interview with WREG in Memphis earlier today, WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler discussed his health scare prior to WWE Old School RAW.

Lawler said that he went to lunch with his girlfriend earlier in the day and that his stomach felt queasy before his food arrived to the table and that his girlfriend contacted Lawler’s son Brian (Grandmaster Sexay), which led to word eventually being spread backstage in the company that Lawler was feeling sick.

Lawler noted that while the sickness ended up being stomach flu following tests at the hospital, the decision was made by Vince McMahon to pull him from the Old School RAW broadcast as a precautionary measure and that fan concern began to grow because he didn’t appear on Old School RAW, however in the end, it was nothing more than a 24 hour stomach virus.
