JERRY 'THE KING' LAWLER was forced to pull out of a public appearance after suffering a stroke.

The WWE Hall of Famer is best known for his infamous 1980s feud with Andy Kaufman.

Lawer, 75, was due to appear at the Horrorhound convention in Cincinnati last Friday.

The event organisers announced on Monday that his absence was down to "some personal matters".

Now it's emerged he suffered his third stroke in the last seven years, forcing him to cancel his appearance.

TMZ report he is already recovering from his latest medical emergency.

The report states he suffered an episode at one of his homes in Florida on Friday.

It adds that his daughter Heather, 56, is taking him back to his main home.

There he will rest and recover for a "few weeks" before trying to get back to normal life.
