WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler has adopted a completely different look.
Lawler is among the greatest legends in professional wrestling history that helped build the industry thanks to his work in the 1970s and 1980s in his hometown of Memphis during the famous territory days.

The King has been a mainstay in WWE since the early 2000s as a commentator on Monday Night RAW.
However, the 73-year-old has stepped back from TV ever since 2020 and has instead been making sporadic appearances.
The former wrestler also suffered a stroke in February from which he thankfully recovered.
Lawler made a stunning comeback on RAW last month in front of a live crowd in Memphis who gave him a standing ovation after a warm introduction from Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens.
And much to the fans’ pleasure, the heavyweight made another surprise public appearance two weeks ago.
The King attended the NCAA football clash between the Memphis Tigers and Tulane Green Wave at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium.
And the ex-grappler shocked the fans as he also sported a full white goatee.
The WWE Universe was left amazed by his new look but stormed the comments’ section as they were happy to see him in good health.
One fan tweeted: “He’s got the beard of a king!”
Another commented: “I like the mature look.”
A third posted: “King still looking sharp, what an absolute legend.”
This fan said: “Damn, almost didn’t recognize him, lol.”
And that one stated: “It’s great to see The King.”
