In late 2002 he took part in the WWE's tour of India. So far so good. But in early 2003 he took ill, with what was a suspected severe stomach virus that he had contracted during the tour. But that wasn't quite the case.... In April 2013 he went to get treatment and it transpired that he had a heart defect which stopped his heart from pumping blood properly through his body. His heart was fluttering and was not beating properly in the right side. Not a good sign..... He got it sorted out, which resulted in him putting on (and eventually losing) 40lb and he was able to return to the ring before assuming the backstage role that he now does. Had he not sought the medical attention in early 2003 it's safe to say that he would not have been here to tell the tale.
