Konnan’s medical problems are not new.<\/p>\n

For several years, the former member of AAA<\/a>, WCW, Impact Wrestling and other independent organizations has spoken publicly about various health complications that have affected his quality of life.<\/p>\n

Last March it was reported that he had undergone amputation of one of his legs due to a chronic illness.<\/p>\n

Vince Russo revealed on the Coach and Bro podcast that he recently had a conversation with Konnan, who is currently focused on his physical recovery.<\/p>\n

According to Russo, the fighter is in a process of rehabilitation and adaptation to his new reality.<\/p>\n
