In very sad news, Melissa Coates, who is currently best known for her role as ECW legend Sabu’s valet under the name Super Genie has had to have her left leg amputated. She was suffering several artery blockages, and doctors had no other choice but to perform the life-saving surgery. This has left her with substantial medical bills and unable to work, so a GoFundMe has been set up so friends and fans can help her.
Coates is a former bodybuilder who began competing competitively in 1995 and was ranked in the top 10 of the world. She also received worldwide publicity by appearing on the front covers of several magazines, including Muscle&Fitness, and Ironman. This lead her to the world of professional wrestling, where she initially trained under Killer Kowalski before becoming part of WWE’s developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling between 2005 and 2007. Since then, she wrestled on the independent circuit until she began managing Sabu under the Super Genie moniker in 2014. Her last high profile appearances were for Impact Wrestling, where she accompanied Sabu throughout his 2019 and 2020 run.
As of writing, $1,840 of her $50,000 target has been raised, and if you are in a position to add to that amount, you can at this link.
