Former TNA and ROH star Jonathan Gresham has revealed that he was recently hospitalised after suffering 2 strokes.
Taking to social media on August 7, Gresham recounted the scary ordeal, which began when he couldn’t walk or move the left side of his body, along with showing other major signs of a stoke. The former ROH World Champion added that he managed to call the emergency services after half an hour:
Two days ago, I woke up and couldn’t walk or move the left side of my body. I couldn’t see and could barely talk. It took me 30 minutes to dial 911, but I finally did. I woke up in the hospital, couldn’t remember what had happened. They told me they had done an MRI and I had two strokes.
I’ve had a lot of tests run but everything has come back clean. They’re not sure what happened, and the only thing they said was it could have been a possible complication from a bad case of COVID I had a couple of weeks ago. They said we may never know the exact reason.
Gresham, who has been competing on the independents, added that he would be taking time away from the ring to fully recover from what happened:
Needless to say, I will be taking the next 2-4 weeks off from wrestling to recover and get cleared fully by my neurologist.
Gresham last competed at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIV on August 2, losing to WWE star Pete Dunne at the pro wrestling/MMA hybrid event.
“I Will Be Back Soon”: Jonathan Gresham
Continuing, Gresham noted that his wife and WWE star Jordynne Grace was not home at the time, so saw him taken out of the house via the doorbell camera, noting that she was there when he woke up.
Ending the post on a positive note, Gresham promised that he would be back soon:
My wife saw me get carted off from the house on our Ring doorbell camera and somehow flew from Orlando to Atlanta in time that she was there when I woke up. I wasn’t fully convinced I had a stroke until she showed me this photo of how my face looked. I never thought this would be something for me to worry about at 37 years old.
I will be back soon 🐙
Many from the wrestling world have sent their well wishes in the comments for Gresham.
