WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase (aka The Million Dollar Man) revealed some troubling news about his health.
DiBiase said on his podcast that he is dealing with memory issues because of severe brain trauma.
DiBiase said:
“I’m dealing with this, this is legit. I don’t have Alzheimer’s and I don’t have dementia but they said, ‘Ted, you have something, we just simply call it severe brain trauma.’ I said, ‘Really?’ I only wrestled for maybe almost 20 years, so I’m not surprised that I might have a little brain trauma.”
He added, “What it affects is my memory and they say it’ll be easier for you to remember something you did 40 or 50 years ago but the short-term memory, some of the stuff right now, it’s bits and pieces.”
DiBiase talked about wrestling seven days a week and not having days off and then going to the WWF and wrestling for three straight weeks at a time in different cities around the country.
DiBiase has made news in the last couple of years for a lawsuit filed by the Mississippi Department of Human Services. He is accused of owing $1,971,223 to the state after allegedly stealing the money that was meant for people who are eligible for welfare.
