Former WWE Wrestler Michael Tarver Suffered a Stroke

Former WWE wrestler Michael Tarver, real name Tyrone Evans, announced on Instagram that he had recently suffered a stroke.

“Last night I was told I was having a Stroke , I dont EVER emote , I dont EVER “Sell” as we say in the Wrestling Biz where I spent 20 years of my life. I told nobody, until I was forced to last night. I had a 202/114 blood pressure reading and the few people I told right before taking myself to the ER ,im thankful for your persistence and also that I actually listened. I was in my bed fir a few hours as they were testing and working to get my bd down and I actually started to have thoughts about my mortality. What a way to die , I work 2 jobs , I train twice a day , I have never drank or smoked in my life and to fall asleep and not wake up because of my blood pressure. I thought about my babies who are all adults now and all of my years of fight depression and suicide attempts over the past 20 years. I thought about my family and I just felt this overwhelming responsibility to get up out of that bed and live. I haven’t shared this much detail with anyone as I am still processing all of the weird emotions Im being overcome with but the sun came up and so did I Thank you Jesus 🙏🏿”

Omos stated “That happened. I was just backstage. I’m like, ‘Sure.’ I didn’t even know it was a battle royal. It was just, ‘Hey, we have something going on at Triple A. You want (to go?). ‘Sure.’ Next call, I’m in Mexico City. I didn’t really get much experience to travel a lot outside of the US. Once I got my immigration stuff settled and situated, I’m like, ‘I’m going to travel now.’ Any time I can travel and leave the country, sign me up.” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)
