Wrestling legend Hacksaw Jim Duggan has been hospitalized with an undisclosed medical issue. Duggan’s family sent word to promoters that the 65-year-old would not be able to make his planned booking at the Legends of the Ring convention in New Jersey. There is no word on the severity of Duggan’s illness at this time.
Duggan experienced a health scare last November due to a heart issue. He would provide further details on his health scare to TMZ.
“I kinda knew something was wrong, but I was scared to go to the doctor,” Hacksaw says. “If there’s something wrong, go to the doctor. They can save your life like they might’ve done mine,” Duggan said last November. “My main concern, I have 2 daughters and my wife, I just wanted to survive it. Thankfully, it looks like I’ll be able to.”
