WWE legend Brian Knobbs is once again battling serious health issues. After years of medical struggles, he revealed that his foot had become infected again and his wife is dealing with issues of her own.
While speaking in a recent video, Brian Knobbs revealed his foot is infected again, and doctors are currently considering amputating his foot.
To make matters worse, Knobbs’ wife Toni recently suffered a severe accident at the hotel where they were staying, breaking her ankle in a compound fracture that required immediate treatment. He added that his wife is currently in rehab, recovering from the injury.
“Everything’s been going on—it’s been quite emotional. They found out that my foot is infected again, and now they’re talking about amputation. On top of that, my wife had an accident at the hotel we’re staying in and broke her ankle, with the bone coming through—a compound fracture. Now she’s laid up in rehab.”
Knobbs asked the wrestling community and his supporters to consider donating to his GoFundMe. At 62, he said this is one of the hardest times of his life, but he expressed deep gratitude to everyone who has stood by him. He promised to keep fighting, stating that he would not let the infection or amputation take control of his future.
"So I’m asking my family, friends, and fans—you’ve all been there. Wrestlers have reached out privately to talk with me, and those are personal conversations. But you’ve always wanted an update, so here’s a two-for-one from the heart. This is probably the hardest time in my 62 years on this earth. I love you all. Please, if you can, go to my GoFundMe. Anything helps, and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart."
At the time of writing, Knobbs’ GoFundMe has raised $31,740, and the current goal is $50,000. Brian Knobbs was hospitalized for the same infection earlier this year and it’s just unfortunate his infection is back again, on top of his wife’s own injury. Therefore, we hope he gets all the help he needs as soon as possible.
