• WCW Veteran Says He Died 5 Times During Recent Liver Transplant
During a recent appearance on The Hannibal TV, UFC & WCW Veteran Tank Abbott talked about his recent liver transplant and dying 5 times during the operation!
He went on to note that he has lost over 100 lbs due to this transplant. Below is what he said:
“My body finally caught up with all of my wild life. Blew a gasket on my liver, but I got a nice transplant and everything is moving right along. It was not without complications, though. I died five times on the operating table, had over six strokes, but I’m still here. This is the hardest fight I’ve ever had. I spent 107 days in the intensive care unit.
I’ve been out of commission for a little bit. I’m getting fired up again and do things that I love to do, which is to kick a$$.”
