Former WWE Superstar To Undergo Open Heart Surgery
July 24, 2020
Former WCW Champion and WWE Superstar Vader announced on Twitter that he will be undergoing open heart surgery in Dallas on Monday.
He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2016. He attributes the issues to his heart to his football and wrestling careers. His years of drinking probably didn’t do him any favors either. On November 2016, he was told that he only had about two years left to live.
Vader previously said that he was undergoing heart surgery (presumably a minor heart procedure compared to his upcoming surgery) on March 13.
Monday morning. Dallas, TX I am now having full blown Open Heart Surgery. They say it’s tough surgery to get through. Wish me luck I am gonna need it.

The former WCW Champion has been working out with Diamond Dallas Page and recent photos on his Twitter account appear to show that he has lost weight so hopefully, that helps his long-term health.
Here is another recent tweet from Vader:
MY HEART HAS SLOWED INTO THE THRITYS SAY ONE FOR ME!!!!!!!! [email protected]
