Meltzer was saying last night that Lawler has never drank, smoked, or used drugs, but that he didn't eat that great, was always on the road, and never got medical check-ups. (Edit: Also, his current girlfriend graduated from high school in 2007) He gets around remarkably well for a guy who has been wrestling for 40-years, and he looked particularly spry last night - the height he gets on that standing dropkick he does is ridiculous.

I think we'll see a lot fewer old wrestling "legends" wrestle in the WWE. That's a pretty strenuous activity even at low-speed, a lot of guys have had heart attacks in the ring. Lawler was there when Moondog Spot died in the ring a few years back.
