Tom Lawlor recovering following successful hip surgery

Tom Lawlor is doing well following hip surgery.

Bryan Alvarez has provided an update following Lawlor’s hip replacement surgery, which was scheduled for Tuesday.

“Filthy Tom’s hip surgery was a success and he’s currently recovering, continued best wishes to him!,” Alvarez reports.

Lawlor, who is a co-host on Wrestling Observer Live with Alvarez and is a frequent contributor to the Wrestling Observer/Figure Four website, revealed last week that he would go under the knife on Tuesday. Lawlor was optimistic about his recovery when revealing the news.

“Yeah, I’ve heard from quite a few people that have had hip replacements…this is one of them that a lot of people say they’ve had great success with, was a game changer, helped them out,” he said. So hopefully I fall into that boat as well.”

Lawlor has been out of action since May with a number of injuries. In addition to his hip, he’s also said that he might need back surgery in the future as he’s also dealing with herniated discs.
