Hospitalized WWE Hall of Fame Wrestler Facing Life-Threatening Battle

A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to raise $25,000 for the former WWF heavyweight champion. An update posted Wednesday details his condition.

Friends have shared that Wayne (Billy) Graham has faced a particularly challenging period recently. He suffered a cardiac arrest but was revived by divine intervention. After over three weeks in the Mayo Clinic ICU and a stint in a rehab center, he has returned to Mayo.

Graham is confronting numerous severe health issues, including a major ear and skull infection that may require six months of IV treatment, congestive heart failure, diabetes, and hearing loss from the infection.

He is expected to undergo a lengthy rehabilitation, with insurance covering only part of the expenses. He will need at least two months in a skilled nursing facility after leaving Mayo, having lost 45 pounds in the past three weeks.

At 79 years old, Graham began his career as a bodybuilder before transitioning to wrestling in 1970.
