Jimmy Rave Has Both Legs Amputated Due To MRSA Infection, How To Help
How to help an independent wrestling veteran in his time of need.
Jimmy Rave was once a top star in ROH. Part of The Embassy faction, Rave engaged in a rivalry with CM Punk before Punk left for WWE. Rave was also paired with AEW’s Lance Archer as well as Christy Hemme in TNA Wrestling.
In November 2020, Rave revealed that doctors found an infection in his arm which forced his left arm to be amputated and forced him to retire from professional wrestling.
Sadly, the latest update is no more uplifting.
Jimmy has once again taken to Twitter to reveal that, due to a MRSA infection, both of his legs have been amputated.
Apparently it’s time for me to come clean. This past June I began having trouble walking & went to my surgeon. He determined I had MRSA in both legs & they needed to be amputated immediately. Promoters can tell you along with my peers, I’ve had a history w/this and would cancel pic.twitter.com/OnU2LgrKQt
