• WCW Veteran Underwent Heart Surgery Due To COVID-19 Effects
Last year, WCW Veteran Konnan talked about his kidneys failing during his hospitalization, which almost led to his heart stopping and him passing away.
Konnan was in the hospital with kidney issues and also tested positive for COVID-19, which made his condition even more serious and could’ve very well cost him his life.
Doctors told him the following:
“There’s a very good chance, and when I mean a very good chance, over 60%, that your heart is going to stop.”
Former WWE Spanish Commentator Hugo Savinovich has now revealed that Konnan underwent a heart surgery due to the effects of COVID-19. Konnan gave him the permission to announce this.
