Over the years, WWE Hall of Famer has suffered multiple health conditions. In the 90s, he was diagnosed with kidney cancer which briefly interrupted his WCW career, and more recently, he suffered an irregular heartbeat that required surgery in 2019. Then later that year, he underwent further surgery for what was described as a “serious infection.” Now his wife Debra has sadly posted on Facebook that he is currently hospitalized and is scheduled for emergy surgery. No further details were provided, and she requested prayers.
The 67-year-old was one of the biggest babyfaces of the 80s/90s, and history will always recognize him as the first Royal Rumble winner. Despite debuting in 1979, the WWE Hall of Famer was still wrestling on the indies until 2019, although in recent years had focused on appearing at conventions and autograph signings. Hopefully, Duggan can make a full recovery, and he can soon resume carrying his 2×4 and proudly waving Old Glory.
