A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to help John Nord (The Berzerker) recover from an infection in his knee after surgery.
In a recent interview with “Bring Me The News,” Nord’s family described the medical complications he is currently facing, which include a possible amputation of his leg.
Nord’s son, Joe, said, “This knee surgery however ended up getting badly infected. Once they felt the infection had been taken care of, they then went back in and put the joint back into my dad’s leg. The doctors have identified two main infections, one of which is now in his bloodstream. If it doesn’t go well and the infection continues to make ground in the next few weeks, they will likely have to remove the joint again and potentially amputate his leg from above the knee. I know that everyone’s support from this GoFundMe page will mean the world to him as it will remind him of all those who want to see him beat this. He’s been in many tough battles with formidable opponents both in the ring and in his life. We hope he can overcome this one as well.”
Nord is most recognized for his performances with the American Wrestling Association and World Class Championship Wrestling in the 1980s as Nord The Barbarian and Yukon John, and with the WWF, AJPW, and WCW in the 1990s as The Berzerker.
We here at eWn wish John Nord a speedy recovery.
