Former 3 time WCW World Heavyweight Champion & 3 time IWGP Heavyweight Champion Vader was told by doctors that he didn’t have long to live….2 years to be exact.
When this news hit, the wrestling world gathered together to send their well wishes to Vader. The other day, Vader announced that he would be going to the hospital for a potential life-saving heart surgery.
Yesterday, Vader announced that he would have to go back in this coming Monday for full blow open heart surgery.
Monday morning. Dallas, TX I am now having full blown Open Heart Surgery. They say it’s tough surgery to get through. Wish me luck I am gonna need it.
