#9 Hacksaw Jim Duggan

Duggan is adored by many fans

The next person on this list is someone that most wrestling fans not only know but also adore. Hacksaw Jim Duggan is one of the biggest fan favourites to ever come through the WWE. This Hall of Famer had his best days at the height of the 1980’s wrestling boom.

Over the years, Duggan has taken a beating. To this day, the 63-year-old legend is still making the rounds on the indie scene, competing in the ring on a pretty regular basis. However, all of these years in the ring has come at a cost.

Several years back, Hacksaw Jim Duggan suffered a severe shoulder injury which would ultimately require surgery. As we all know, most wrestlers do not have health insurance, primarily due to the outrageous premium costs. With Duggan, this was why surgery was seemingly impossible.

After a lot of thought, as well as pressure from his physician, Duggan created an Indiegogo account, which allowed anyone who wanted to, to donate to him online. When it was all said and done, Duggan reached his goal that enabled him to have the necessary procedures done to repair his shoulder.

Altogether, fans helped Hacksaw raise roughly 14 thousand dollars for his surgery.
