Jimmy Rave, real name James Guffey and best known for his work in Ring of Honor and Impact Wrestling/TNA, revealed earlier this week that he had been diagnosed with MRSA back in June and needed to get both of his legs amputated. He also posted a post-operation surgery from a hospital bed. He wrote in a Twitter thread, “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 shows often due to this condition. I don’t know where rumors started this was due to something else, but I hadnt been to shows for so long. So where did someone see me do something? I have ALWAYS been honest with my past. I went on podcast n interviews being super candid.
