That is so sad. We've seen so many wrestlers go over the years, but surprisingly few serious injuries in the ring.
Obviously Lawler has a lot of good years left ahead of him, hopefully he is able to fully recover, and doesn't suffer from a lot of long-term effects.
They really need to stop giving ring time to 50+ guys though. Both Steamboat and Lawler now have had serious complications after ring time. We need to recognize and remember the greats, but leave the in-ring work to guys in their primes.
