Minnesota ABC affiliate KSTP has a story on the struggles of former WWE/WCW/ECW star Perry Saturn. As noted earlier this week, Saturn has fallen on hard times and he is fearful of being homeless. A GoFundMe has been set up to help him with his medical bills. Saturn said that he suffers from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy from the shots to the head that he took when he was active in wrestling. “The name of the disorder is CTE. There’s no test for them just to look and tell you that’s what you have they tell by autopsying the brain, and we’re going to try put that off as long as we can,” he said.
So far, over $27,000 has been raised on his GoFundMe account. $5,000 of the money raised has been donated by Chris Jericho. If you’d like to help, check out his GoFundMe account by clicking here.
KSTP has reached out to WWE to find out what programs they offer for former wrestlers dealing with traumatic brain injuries. WWE has not responded yet. Check out the story below:
