Summary
- WWE legend Typhoon's gallbladder ruptured, causing a life-threatening infection.
- Doctors told his wife there was a high chance he would not survive the infection.
- The wrestling star has been learning to walk again due to severe muscle loss.
WWE legend Fred Ottman, known to fans as Typhoon, recently faced a life-threatening health crisis requiring a month-long hospitalization. His gallbladder ruptured, leading to a dangerous infection that spread through his body. Doctors reportedly informed his wife that his chances of survival were slim if he had not sought immediate medical attention.
During his stay, Ottman, who is 69 years old, was placed on dialysis for a period to help filter his blood. The subsequent infection has had a profound impact on his physical condition, resulting in substantial weight and muscle mass loss. This has necessitated a challenging rehabilitation process, including learning to walk again.
Despite the arduous recovery, Ottman shared a positive outlook, indicating that he was nearing discharge. He credited his supportive wife and friends for their encouragement during this difficult time. Ottman was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame last year alongside his tag team partner.
