The former WWF star shared an update on Facebook following his leg amputation, along with a photo showing him standing on a prosthetic leg during rehabilitation. In the post, Jannetty thanked Brian Blair and the Cauliflower Alley Club, a nonprofit that assists wrestlers in need.
"They've showed me quite a lot of love and compassion for my situation. Without their help I don't think I would've gotten through this very tough time in my life," Jannetty wrote, noting that "insurance only covers so much."
Jannetty, 66, underwent a below-the-knee amputation on April 1 following years of leg and ankle problems, including complications from a 2020 ankle reconstruction. His family confirmed the procedure in May, saying the surgery went as expected and that he is focused on recovery and long-term healing.
