Former WWE manager Slick is recovering in an ICU after
suffering a heart attack which required open-heart surgery.
The Book Pro Wrestler social media account revealed the news
yesterday evening, with Steve Stasiak writing, “Only hours
ago, we were celebrating the anniversary of Slick’s WWF
debut and reflecting on everything he has brought to
professional wrestling. We could not have imagined that
before the day was over, we would be asking everyone to pray
for the man behind the character, Kenneth Johnson.”
Stasiak added that the “Doctor of Style” made it to hospital
in time and is now on the mend, with a slow recovery.
The heel manager accompanied several WWE Superstars during
his day, including Akeem, The Big Boss Man, Warlord, Butch
Reed, and many others. He remains absent from the WWE Hall
of Fame, although he did induct the Big Boss Man in 2016.
