On The Mend: Wrestling Legends Offers Update On Recent Health Scare And Emergency Surgery

That explains it. Wrestlers do all kinds of things that fans are never going to actually do. It makes them feel like larger than life characters, which is exactly the point a lot of the time. Unfortunately this can also include more negative things, such as health issues that can cause problems. A wrestling legend recently had to deal with such a situation and now we know more about it.

Earlier this week, WWE Hall Of Famer Hacksaw Jim Duggan’s wife Debra announced that Jim was hospitalized and underwent emergency surgery. Jim has now offered an update on the situation, revealing that he was suffering from an abscess which caused his white blood cell count to nearly reach sepsis. The surgery was designed to drain the abscess and it was successful. Jim, 69 years old, has since been released from the hospital and been cleared to fly.

Thank you to the @GlensFallsHosp, The Glens Falls Fire Department, The Glens Falls Nation Fund, and all of my fans and friends for their prayers and support!

Jim had a heck of a career. Check out some of his time in the ring:

Opinion: That’s great to hear, as you never want to see anyone, whether a wrestling legend or not, dealing with something like this. Jim was lucky to be able to get the help that he needed and it seems to have done the trick. Hopefully he does not have to deal with something like this again, as he has had more than his share of health issues over the years now.

What was the best part of Jim’s career? How could he have been a bigger star in WWE? Let us know in the comments below.
