• Tag Team Wrestling Legend Undergoes High-Risk Surgery

As we noted earlier, Old School Tag Team Wrestling Legend Bobby Fulton (of The Fantastics) has been in the hospital as his throat cancer has returned.

In the latest update on Fulton, his son, Dillon, shared the news of his father going through surgery. Fulton is still in rough condition.

Below is what he tweeted:

“Dad’s surgery that was scheduled for 8am EST has been postponed to 1pm EST. This surgery is very serious as it is to take care of an artery that he is internally bleeding from. One wrong move in this surgery could cause a stroke. Prayers, please.

Update on dad:

They took him back earlier than expected and he is out of surgery. He’s in rough condition still. He’s gotten to talk to his friend @TheJimCornette. Jimmy kept getting dad to laugh. Continued thoughts and prayers for dad, please.”
