In truly heartbreaking news, a GoFundMe update has revealed that former TNA and AJPW wrestler Joe Doering is entering hospice care following his third brain tumor diagnosis. The 44-year-old has been battling brain cancer since 2016 and has maintained remarkable positivity despite dealing with ataxia, which causes shaky limbs and slurred or slow speech. Those who know Doering personally are encouraged to visit him, with the update noting, “Joe could use all your good thoughts & prayers.”
“Sad to share the news that Joe is heading to hospice soon. If anyone is local & would want to visit, please send a message. Joe could use all your good thoughts & prayers.” – Mandy Banh
Doering, the 6’8” Chicago-born powerhouse, built a formidable wrestling career that spanned multiple continents prior to his diagnosis. Trained by Scott D’Amore, he rose as a dominant gaijin in All Japan Pro Wrestling, winning the prestigious Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship twice and capturing four World Tag Team titles alongside legends including Keiji Mutoh and Suwama. In TNA, he became a cornerstone of Violent By Design, securing the World Tag Team Championship twice with his hard-hitting style and devastating lariats.
