Update on Konnan following reports of hospitalization, leg amputation
Dave Meltzer and Garrett Gonzales addressed Konnan’s health on Saturday evening’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio.
Reports on Friday from Mexican outlet RECORD stated that Konnan was hospitalized in San Diego and had his leg amputated due to medical complications. The reports have not been independently confirmed and no official announcement has been made.
In an update to this story, Meltzer said on the show that while he does not know all of the details regarding Konnan’s situation, Konnan has been in poor health for several weeks and has been in and out of the hospital during that time.
Meltzer said:
“He’s been in rough shape for a while now, probably since the last time he was on AAA television, so it’s probably been six weeks. I don’t know all of the details. I believe that he will be probably addressing it soon.”
“He’s been in and out of the hospital, mostly in, that much I know. That’s about it, really.”
Gonzales added, “Whatever is going on, best wishes to Konnan.”
