Former WCW star Lodi suffered a heart attack during a match on June 17. Lodi discussed the incident with Queen City News (Charlotte, North Carolina), which saw him starting to feel off during a match. He then drove to the hospital himself, where he was told that two major arteries were 100% blocked and a third, called the Widowmaker, as it being blocked leads to death, was 90% blocked. Lodi would undergo quintuple bypass surgery but says that he plans to continue his wrestling career after recovery.

He was certainly different. Check out Lodi’s time in WCW:

Opinion: That’s one of those stories that sounds like a plot in a movie, as the drama involved almost sounds fake. What matters most is that Lodi is in much better shape now and hopefully continues to get better going forward. To have that many arteries blocked and make it through is impressive and thank goodness he was smart enough to go to the hospital when he did.

What do you remember of Lodi’s career? What was his funniest sign? Let us know in the comments below.
