Pro wrestlers are larger-than-life characters who often perform death-defying and risky stunts inside the ring. It is a norm for them to put their lives on the line and come out smiling afterward. However, sometimes the reality of life catches up to them as well. WWE Hall of Famer and wrestling legend “Superstar” Billy Graham has been wrestling against several health ailments over the years. More recently, the wrestling icon suffered from an ear infection that spread to the bones of his ear and infected his skull. After he was admitted to a hospital for a procedure, he had a cardiac arrest and was moved to the ICU.
His wife Valerie shared this grim news on Facebook, but now has some positive updates regarding the health of her husband. She revealed that he will continue rehab and antibiotics and will be soon discharged.
