Jimmy Rave Apologizes For Having His Legs 'Amputated,' Feels Betrayed By Community He 'Will Die For'

Jimmy Rave admits how the amputation in his left arm caused an MRSA infection which then forced his doctors to have the same operation on both his legs.

According to sources, the former Ring of Honor Wrestler had undergone several surgeries after suffering an infection from his amputation that had happened nearly a year ago. Rave revealed that the MRSA made it hard for him to do daily activities such as standing up and walking.

Jimmy "opened up" about the whole ordeal last October 24. The ex-wrester shared that he even had his picture taken after both of his lower limbs were amputated and removed four months ago.

Rave Reveals The Truth

Rave had uploaded the black-and-white photo of him sitting up on a hospital bed on social media. His post was captioned with, "Promoters can tell you along with my peers, I've had a history w[ith] this [MRSA infection] and would cancel shows often due to this condition."

He then continued to address the people who started spreading rumors about his absence from the pro-wresting community and started putting words into his mouth when he had been "super candid" about his situation when asked on interviews and podcasts.

"Pro wrestling is all I ever loved. It sucks to think that the tribe I would have died for, would say untrue things about me. I've gone this whole time not disclosing my legs because of this embarrassment. Sorry, I fell short of your expectations. I tried... I really did," the 38-year old ended.
