Wrestling Legend Reveals Very Bad Health News

That doesn’t sound good. There have been so many wrestlers throughout the years and some of them have become names that are known to most wrestling fans. It can be interesting to see what they are doing after they leave the ring, though that does not necessarily mean it is a good thing. That seems to be the case again as a legend has shared some bad news.

Wrestling legend Virgil has revealed that he has received bad news regarding his health. Virgil revealed on Twitter that he has suffered two major strokes and has been diagnosed with an early form of dementia. He has set up a page asking for donations, in addition to offering to sell autographs and video shoutouts. Virgil has not wrestled since Talk N Shop A Mania 2 in November 2020.

Dearest a Meatsauce Mafia. I am grateful that I can communicate something that has happened to me. Unfortunately I have some really hard news to share.

For starters- without me knowing, over the past few months the Doctor had identified that I suffered 2 massive strokes. Like I didnt Even have a clue till I started not working with 1 of my arms. It’s basically not able to do anything. This was the decent news.

Opinion: That is never good to hear and at 59, Virgil is far too young to have this kind of issues. There are a lot of legends in wrestling, but Virgil is one who is better known for his post wrestling career, as he is known as one of the stranger characters in the industry. I’m not sure how bad his health situation is but hopefully he can get the help that he needs because this sounds rather serious.
