Hi, Everyone!
Today’s blog is dedicated to Memphis, Tennessee’s own Jerry “The King” Lawler, who just so happens to be celebrating his 63rd birthday today.
As we are all aware of, it was on that fateful evening of September 10, 2012 that Mr. Lawler suffered a legitimate heart attack on live television. The reports surrounding this very serious situation have proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that The Lord clearly had His Hands on Mr. Lawler. Think about it y’all: 1) Michael Cole, who is portrayed as an annoying heel, was the first one to notice that something was wrong when Mr. Lawler appeared to be sleeping; 2) There was a doctor who was in such close proximity that he was able to get to Mr. Lawler; and 3) Whereas Mr. Lawler was clinically gone for twenty minutes, there were no signs of brain damage, and what’s more, Mr. Lawler had total recall, with the exception of the events that led up to his medical emergency. Gramma Jewel said it best: The King of Memphis has the greatest tag team partner ever in The King of Kings.
Just approximately two weeks ago on November 12, 2012, tears of joy filled up my eyes when “The Great Gates of Kiev” played throughout the arena, and out stepped Jerry “The King” Lawler to a standing ovation. I even cheered when Mr. Lawler gave Michael Cole a big, genuine, appreciative hug, then proceeded to give a speech that showed just how grateful he was to have been given another chance.
I will not even touch on that controversial promo involving CM Punk and Paul Heyman. It seems that everyone has their own opinions about it, and I certainly have mine. I just want to focus on the big picture: Jerry Lawler is back, albeit to commentary—and on a personal note, I don’t want him to get back in that ring. Nevertheless, I am happy to dedicate today’s blog to not only a legendary wrestler, but most importantly, the epitome of a miracle.
In closing today’s blog, I couldn’t help but sing this song when Jerry Lawler gave his comeback speech:
Somebody prayed for me, had me on their mind,
Took the time and prayed for me.
I’m so glad they prayed, I’m so glad they prayed,
I’m so glad they prayed for me.
And Mr. Lawler, I was one of many who prayed for you.
Once again, Happy #63, and God Bless!
Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha
