Former WWE Star Luther Reigns Recovering From Stroke

Reported by Keelan Balderson on 04/20/2010



Former WWE star Luther Reigns is recovering from a stroke. As reported in the Arizona Republic:

“He talks slowly and softly, at times struggling to finish a sentence or a thought – the last person you would expect to be performing live and on television for millions of people.”

“We wrestled every night, damn near every night,” Wiese said. “We were beat to hell. So we needed pain pills to do our job.”

In addition to the 40 to 50 pain pills he took each day, Wiese said, he was on steroids, a habit he carried over from his time at ASU and his stint in the now-defunct World Championship Wrestling organization.

His addiction continued after he retired from the WWE to manage his girlfriend’s acting career. The years of drug abuse caught up to him when he suffered the stroke at his home last year.
