During a recent edition of his Grilling JR podcast, AEW’s Jim Ross revealed that Dean Malenko, who works as an agent in AEW, has undergone brain surgery to help him deal with his Parkinson’s disease. The surgery is designed to help Malenko deal with the shaking that comes with his condition. There is no word on when Malenko had the surgery or if he is back to work yet.

Malenko had quite the career. Check out some of his time in the ring:

Opinion: That is great to hear as you never want to see someone have health issues, especially with something that serious. Malenko is a rather valuable asset to any wrestling promotion and it is awesome to have him healthy enough to be back to work, or at least on his way to being back. At the very least, just giving him a higher quality of life is a good thing and that seems to be the case here.

What do you think of Malenko? What was the best part of his career? Let us know in the comments below.
