WWE legend recalls being given 50-50 odds of survival by the doctors during recent health scare (Exclusive)

Former WWE manager and wrestling legend Dutch Mantell spoke about his recent health scare. The legendary star was hospitalized for several days after a recent episode.

Over the past year, Dutch has had some medical emergencies. He battled sepsis twice and was recently hospitalized for a month. His daughter, Amanda, even started a GoFundMe campaign to help the family, and the fans donated generously to help the beloved veteran and his family.

This week on BroDown, Dutch Mantell joined Vince Russo and hosted Mac Davis. Mantell recalled how the doctors only gave him a 50% chance of making it when he was hospitalized. The former WWE manager mentioned that he was so heavily medicated that he barely remembered what happened there. He revealed there was a week where he blanked out and couldn't remember anything.

"You know what the doctor gave me when I first went to the hospital? He gave me a 50-50 chance of beating it. I was so out of it, I heard him but I didn't hear him. If I'd have heard 50-50, if I was kind of straight and okay, it would've scared me. It didn't scare me, I kinda laughed. I thought it was funny. There's a whole week there, when I first started, they did a blood transfusion on me, I didn't even know it. I didn't remember that. There's a whole week, it's just erased. I can't remember nothing."
