“I can't comment on that right now, but I do know this. I've had three different doctors in Boulder express the Gloom and Doom scenario. It's a top of the second if we're talking about baseball, and I'm behind.”
Furthermore, keeping up with his fighting spirit, he added,
“So I'm not sitting on this, I'm proactive. Just refusing to die, I'm not going to die. And that's the mindset I have, and the mindset I will have forever more so.”
It is surprising to note that Vader still continues to accept offers of independent bookings and autograph signings, even in his precarious medical condition. He also had a recent run-in with Chael Sonnen over no-showing his podcast and ended up teasing a match with him. Watch the full interview here:
The WCW legend would be following the footsteps of Scott Hall and Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts by starting work with Diamond Dallas Page in Atlanta, GA in the upcoming month.
Finally speaking about how he’s been feeling after the entire car accident debacle, he said,
“I've been in the gym, I feel okay, I've been feeling pretty good actually. I don't know exactly what he's talking about or if something will show itself up in weeks to come, but right now I'm still trying to figure out exactly what's going on.”
