In an interview with Ariel Helwani, ECW legend Raven said
that his early-onset Parkinson’s kicks in pretty bad when
he’s anxious or gets really tired.
The former ECW champ revealed he was diagnosed with the
disease in his upcoming documentary Nevermore: The Raven
Effect, which comes out on November 18 on Amazon Prime.
Raven told Helwani that the disease has not affected him
“too bad” yet but the tremor gets worse if he’s agitated.
“You gotta pay the piper sometime,” Raven said. “For all the
drugs and alcohol and chair shots I took to the head…you
gotta pay for the damage at some point.”
Raven added that the things he did and went through made him
who he is today and he’s happy with that. Admitting that he
has a lot of regrets from his wrestling decisions, he said
that he’d rather be happy with who he is at the end of his
life than not.
The 61-year-old, real name Scott Levy, wrestled for WCW,
WWE, ECW, TNA, and many indie promotions throughout his long
career.
