Jonathan Gresham Suffered Two Strokes & Taking Break From Wrestling

Indies wrestler and former TNA talent Jonathan Gresham announced earlier today on Twitter that he recently suffered two strokes and will be taking a break from wrestling for the next two to four weeks to recover from his current medical situation.

Gresham stated that his doctors are currently not sure what happened due to his medicals tests came back clean but they believe it might have been a possible complication from a bad case of COVID he had a couple of weeks ago.

“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.

Needless to say, I will be taking the next 2-4 weeks off from wrestling to recover and get cleared fully by my neurologist.

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”
