Jerry Lawler is in a better condition than before and he is expected to recover.

Lawler\’s friend and WMC-TV chief meteorologist Dave Brown spoke to the wrestling legend on Tuesday. He provided an update on his condition to Commercial Appeal:
“Some of the initial reports were just horrible, so I feel much better than I did 18 hours ago when I felt like I got hit in the face with a shovel,
I was incredibly encouraged after I did a FaceTime. Jerry was alert. He talked to me. He could only say a couple words at a time, which is pretty normal. But (he) was able to move both legs and both arms.\”
Brown said that he feels optimistic about Jerry Lawler\’s recovery. This sentiment was shared by Dutch Mantell who also posted an update on Twitter:
