On the latest episode of The Coach and Bro podcast, Vince
Russo revealed that wrestling legend Konnan underwent an
amputation of his other leg.
Konnan, 62, had one of his legs amputated in March after he
was hospitalized in San Diego but due to more health
complications, the other leg also had to be removed.
“Konnan has gone through a double leg amputation. Yes, both
legs. And I was smartened up on it,” Russo said on the
podcast. “I knew he had the one leg amputated and the second
one was in question. That was the last time I talked to him,
probably about two months ago. They had to remove the second
one.”
He added that he talked to Konnan this week and he was going
through rehab to learn how to cope with being a double
amputee.
Konnan told Russo that WWE paid for all his medical bills,
including surgeries to amputate his legs.
Prior to health issues, Konnan was doing English commentary
for AAA broadcasts on the WWE YouTube channel along with
Corey Graves and JBL. He was eventually replaced by Rey
Mysterio for the time being.
