Mexican wrestling legend Konnan has reportedly been hospitalized. Dave Meltzer confirmed the news on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio.
It was noted on the show that he was taken in due to a kidney issue. Meltzer noted that the condition is serious, but there are currently no further details on Konnan at this time.
The former LAX leader previously had a kidney transplant in 2007, where there were complications following the surgery. Konnan confirmed after the fact that he was in good health.
The IMPACT and MLW signed star has previously stated that painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs “ruined his kidney.”
We hope to give you further updates as the situation unfolds. Our well wishes at SEScoops go out to Konnan and his family at this time.
The Cuban wrestling star boasts a long career and accolades across the globe. These accolades include becoming WCW World Television, United States and Tag Team Champion; CMLL World Heavyweight Champion and AAA Parejas Increibles Tag Team and Americas Heavyweight Champion.
*UPDATE*
From Lucha Libre Online Twitter feed:
(translated from Spanish)
"As Hugo Savinovich has just reported, Konnan has confirmed to us that he unfortunately tested positive for COVID-19, which is why he is hospitalized. He recognized that his life was in danger. At this moment he is out of danger and hopes to be discharged between now and tomorrow so that he can continue his treatment from home. Konnan is in our prayers as is his family and we wish him a speedy recovery."
*UPDATE #2*
Konnan is out of the hospital and in better condition, per Dave Meltzer.
Konnan is out of the hospital and doing better.
