    Watch: ‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan Provides Emotional Update On Cancer Treatment

    WWE Legend ‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan has provided a great news about his health to his fans and confirmed that he is officially cancer free.

    The WWE Hall of Famer shared a video on Instagram. It showed him ringing the cancer bell that hospitals have to celebrate the end of treatment for cancer patients.

    In an emotional speech, Duggan mentioned how he had been listening to other people ringing the bell for weeks. He had been looking forward to getting the chance himself:

    “For 8 weeks I’ve been coming by, looking at this bell, listening to the other folks coming by and ringing the bell,” said Jim Duggan, “I’ve been looking forward to it.”

    The wrestling veteran went on to thank his doctors, nurses and technicians as well as his family, friends and all the fans for their support.

    Jim Duggan underwent a procedure to remove his prostate in October 2021. He had announced later that year that he was cancer free.

    Unfortunately for the former WWE star, the cancer returned in March earlier this year. He described it as a ‘terrifying time’ for his family and confirmed that he would have to undergo treatment.

  • Jim Ross & Steve Austin To Team Up For Live Show?, Update On JR’s Autobiography

    WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross noted in a recent blog on his official website that WWE’s decision to postpone the filming of the return season of Tough Enough ended up resulting in he and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin delaying some plans they had to work together.

    Ross and Austin were reportedly looking to debut a two-man show together in Las Vegas, Nevada, an act that was actually supposed to debut this past weekend in conjunction with UFC 175. The deal ended up falling through due to some separate commitments that Austin had, ones that ended up falling through.

    There is talk that JR and “Stone Cold” could end up teaming up for a two-man show in San Jose, California for WrestleMania 31, or possibly other markets.

    Speaking of JR, he is finished with his one-man shows until 2015, as he is working on his autobiography. While the WWE Hall Of Fame announcer has yet to secure a publishing deal, he has started work on the project with Scott Williams, a writer who has worked on books for “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, “Cowboy” Bill Watts and Terry Funk in the past.

  • “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan Talks Legends House Season 1, Thursday’s Reunion, More

    The following are highlights of a new Bleacher Report interview with “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan:

    The emotional season finale of Legends House: “I don’t think that was anything that was really planned. That just goes to show how close the eight of us, or the seven of us and Tony (Atlas), got over that period of time, being away from our families and just being together. I don’t’ think anyone expected that episode to go the way it did. I think Jimmy (Hart) started the ball rolling when he shared what had happened in his life and I told a story I very seldom tell. It was very traumatic for me. And then Pat went. It just goes to show how close we became.”

    The Legends House reunion that was filmed earlier this year: “It was great to see everybody. It was the first time all eight of us have been together since. I had seen (Roddy) Piper an Jimmy Hart on the road and I’ve talked to Hillbilly (Jim) on the phone, but for the eight of us to get together again was a lot of fun. It was even kind of good to see Tony. The first two minutes.”

    How he wants fans to remember him: “I think the character is just an extension of my personality. My old buddy Bret Hart always said “I’m the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.” I always say “I’m Hacksaw Duggan. I try hard.” I think that people saw that in me. That’s why I can still go to the ring today. People see Hacksaw is an extension of my personality. What’s out there is genuine. When I’m cheering “USA, USA” it’s coming from the heart.”

  • “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan Talks WWE’s Mid-South DVD, Praises Dolph Ziggler & Curtis Axel

    The following are interview highlights with wrestling legend “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan:

    On which current WWE Superstars he feels has the ‘It Factor’ right now: “I think everybody likes Dolph Ziggler, you know I seen him back in the Spirit Squad days. You see that kid, he’s got the blonde hair and a lot of white teeth, good body, good-looking young guy. He’s the kind of guy, a marquee player that WWE looks for, like John Cena, Hulk Hogan, somebody of that nature. I think Ziggler fits that bill. Kind of an unknown hero is McGuillicutty (Curtis Axel). I think Curt’s boy, third generation wrestler, he’s got a lot to show.

    On second and third generation WWE Superstars: “I think guys that grow up in the business are just a little more polished than guys like myself who came into wrestling blind. I had no idea what to expect. I think, like Jake the Snake Roberts, Ted Dibiase, your second generation wrestlers, we see even more in Cody Rhodes and Ted Junior, that they grew up in the business and have a better understanding of the show.”

    On the upcoming Mid-South DVD and the territory days: “Mid-South was a great wrestling territory, as you know many of the WWF stars came out of Mid-South. It was a great training area, not only did you learn how to do your work in the ring, but you learned how to do your interviews.”

    “A lot more guys were making a living wrestling and it was a great time in the business. Of course, the WWE, WWF days was better for a few unique guys but for overall wrestlers, it was good in the territory days.”
