A former WWE star has provided an update in the aftermath of a health scare.
Michael Tarver, best known for his stint as a member of The Nexus, took to social media to reveal he suffered a stroke. The former WWE star added that he drove himself to the emergency department where they took care of his blood pressure.
“Last night I was told I was having a Stroke , I dont EVER emote , I dont EVER “Sell” as we say in the Wrestling Biz where I spent 20 years of my life. I told nobody, until I was forced to last night. I had a 202/114 blood pressure reading and the few people I told right before taking myself to the ER ,im thankful for your persistence and also that I actually listened.
“I was in my bed fir a few hours as they were testing and working to get my bd down and I actually started to have thoughts about my mortality. What a way to die , I work 2 jobs , I train twice a day , I have never drank or smoked in my life and to fall asleep and not wake up because of my blood pressure. I thought about my babies who are all adults now and all of my years of fight depression and suicide attempts over the past 20 years. I thought about my family and I just felt this overwhelming responsibility to get up out of that bed and live. I haven’t shared this much detail with anyone as I am still processing all of the weird emotions Im being overcome with but the sun came up and so did I Thank you Jesus ??”
WrestleZone wishes Michael Tarver all the best in his recovery.
