It was recently announced by WWE Hall Of Famer “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan via his Instagram that he is undergoing a heart procedure in South Carolina. Duggan wrote, “On my way to the hospital for a planned heart procedure, will be in over night. Then back HOOOOOING. Any good thoughts and prayers will be appreciated. See you down the road.”
Duggan told TMZ Sports back in December that he has been having trouble breathing and that he has also been having complications in his chest that lead doctors to discover that his heart had gone into AFib. Duggan then said that he has found out that many legendary pro wrestlers and close friends of his have dealt with the same issue, as seen below:
“Bill Eadie, one of the “Demolition” guys called me and said he had Afib for many years,” Duggan said. “Jerry Lawler called me and said, of course, he has a heart problem and is still doing well. [Brian] Knobbs and [Jerry] Sags, Hulk Hogan, just everybody checked in on me, which was really nice. The outpouring from the fans and friends is humbling.”
Duggan would then post a photo of himself giving his signature “thumbs up” gesture outside of the hospital. You can check out Duggan’s full Instagram post below:
