Pro Wrestling stars Lisa Marie Varon, aka Tara and Victoria, and Lanny Poffo, both noted last week that WWE legend Fred Ottman, aka Tugboat and Typhoon, is currently dealing with health issues. Varon and Poffo asked that fans keep the 61-year-old Ottman in their prayers.
Ottman has since released a video on Facebook, providing an update on his health. Ottman notes he is dealing with an infection following an injury to his leg, and he is currently taking medication to treat the infection. Ottman says he is feeling better although he is not completely “out of the woods” yet.
Ottman did seem to indicate on social media that he will be appearing at a scheduled Legends of Wrestling event taking place on February 24th in Winnipeg:
THIS IS GOING TO BE AWWWWWWWWWSOME
