I’m still out visiting fans at ComicCONs & other places and I love coming out to see everyone! A few months ago I took a tumble and twisted my knee and I’ve been in some pain. Finally went to my doctor and had an MRI TODAY then back to the Dr with the disc! A lot of running around or hobbling around. Thank God for my wife Missy who took initiative to get me to the Doctor because I do need surgery! This is where I need help! I have no insurance to cover the day surgery which is roughly 12k. That’s a lot of money for anyone including a retired wrestler like me.The surgery is happening quickly before June 1st so I’m hoping to raise enough money to cover all or half needed to get this knee done and be out of pain!Thank you for anything you are able to give and I’ll keep you posted via social media how the fund is coming along and shoot a video or two of my surgery and progress! God Bless and keep Struttin and Cuttin!”
