WWE legend Jimmy Rave revealed that he had both his legs amputated due to a recurring MRSA infection. He only retired months ago after the infection caused doctors to amputate one arm.
Jimmy Rave, 38, tweeted a jarring photo showing the professional wrestler laying in his hospital bed with both legs and his left arm removed because he was again diagnosed with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus – a bacterial infection resistant to antibiotics.

Jimmy Rave, 38, revealed on Twitter on Sunday that he had both his legs amputated after contracting Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) – a staph infection resistant to antibiotics and typically found in hospitals – in both legs

The former pro wrestler is best known for his work in the Ring Of Honor, a live program featuring the ‘best-in-ring action’ and new styles that ‘developed by fresh, young stars that incorporates wrestling, mixed martial arts and high-flying’
Rave announced last December on his Instagram that he would be ending his pro-wrestling career after the amputation to his left arm.
“I have been very fortunate for the past 21 years in professional wrestle and getting to live my dream.” He posted the following Instagram message on December 10, 2020: “Today, that dream has ended for us and we have a new reality.”
“This post Tuesday [December 8]My world crashed to pieces when doctors discovered an infection in my left hand. I tried to fight it off but by the time I saw the doctor it was too late. My left arm had to be amputated above the elbow.
According to health officials, approximately 30 percent of people have staph infections. This includes their nose, armpits, and groin. However, MRSA affects only two in 100 people.
MRSA infection is more common in athletes and those who have undergone inpatient treatment or have had medical devices or surgery in their bodies.
If left untreated the infection can spread to the bloodstream, causing poisonous toxins and death in up to one-fifth patients.
Romain Vezirian, a pro wrestler, wrote: “I hate that this happened. It was the highlight of my career to go from being a huge admirer of yours and share the ring with him. We are all rooting to you.
Rave was also encouraged by Jeremy Vain (pro wrestler). I know you’re aware of my desire to help others. You’ve done it before. It’s just different. I love you man. #Changelives.’
Rave claimed that he withheld knowledge about his legs as a result of an embarrassment’. There were also ‘untrue statements’ that the pro was suffering form’something else’.
A few days before he posted the picture, the wrestler had posted a hospital invoice for more than $100,000. With room and board alone, the former star cost $52,500. He then asked his fans to help cover the cost.

Rave posted an amazing $103,000 medical bill via Twitter last week, asking his followers for their help
Rave was stunned by the shocking $103,314,77 billing for therapy, laboratory work, room and board, as well as the $8.50 per-day to ‘use the 20 channels TV’
Other pro wrestlers rallied behind the star, with many asking their followers to ‘help as much as possible’
‘I’m sorry this happened, you never failed anyone of us and are an inspiration for all of us. Toby Farley, a fellow pro-wrestler, wrote that I have stolen so many things from your work or learned so much that I’ve given it to others.
He wrote on Twitter, “I don’t know how the rumors started, but I hadn’t been to shows in so long.” ‘Pro Wrestling was all I ever loved. It’s a shame to think that the tribe for which I would have given my life would make untrue statements about me.
Rave was recently informed that a GoFundMe page had been set up to help him after his arm was amputated in 2020. Many new donations have since come in.
So far, the page has raised $16,115 towards its $20,000 goal.
Rave is best known for his work in the Ring Of Honor, a live show that features the ‘best-in ring action’ and new styles that were developed by young stars. This program incorporates mixed martial arts and high flying.

On Instagram, the ex-pro-wrestler announced his retirement from the sport following the amputation in December 2020. The same disease claimed his arm.



He was supported and loved by many pro-wrestlers via Twitter. They said that he was inspirational and that they were rooting for him
