Former WWF, WCW, TNA and AAA wrestler Konnan has been struggling with health difficulties. Back in 2007, he underwent a successful kidney transplant operation. However, it seems as though kidney problems have unfortunately resurfaced, and Konnan is now looking for a kidney donor.
Finding a donor is no easy feat, but two members of the Mysterio family have offered to give their kidneys to the wrestling legend.
Mysterio Family Members Offered To Donate Kidneys To Konnan
On the latest edition of his “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, Konnan spoke of his health concerns and highlighted the two Mysterio family members who offered to donate their kidneys.
“It’s an ongoing thing to get a fu**ing kidney donor. I actually have seven people from the show, and believe it or not bro, this is beautiful, do you know who offered me their kidney? Dominik and Aalyah, both.”
Konnan then went further in-depth about his kidney problems. He highlighted his ordeal with kidney dialysis, what led to his recent kidney problems, and updated his fans on his overall health.
“I’ll tell you what saved me bro is the fu**ing dialysis. I didn’t want to do it. This is my second kidney replacement. A lot of people think, ‘Oh steroids.’ Well, if it’s steroids, why don’t more people have kidney problems?”
“What actually happened is, I was in an extreme match in Tijuana, and a ladder came all the way from the top and I was looking the other way, and it landed and it fu**ing broke my kidney and I didn’t even know it because I just thought it was normal pain.”
“Not too long ago, I did an angle in AEW with the FTR guys. They gave me this pile driver and I never had time to like, go, because I got there late. We were like second on, and next thing you knew, we were in the trailer and we were going to the fu**ing ring. So they never really showed me how to do the pile driver. So it’s like this weird different pile driver I’d never taken, and when I hit, I went like, holy sh*t. I felt that.”
“Then for months and months, I was having problems with my back, with my traps, with my ribs, and I just thought it was a pinched nerve. When I finally went to the fu**ing doctor, they were like, ‘No, you have a dislocated shoulder and a cracked rib.’ Bro, that hurt like a mother fu**er.”
“Same thing with the kidney. When I bursted, when it burst or whatever, I didn’t go to the hospital because you know, Mr. Macho here. Then finally when I had kidney problems, they were like, ‘Bro, your kidneys are so dehydrated, we don’t even know what to tell you.'”
In another recent episode of “Keepin’ It 100,” Konnan commented on backstage issues within All Elite Wrestling.
