In an emotional video shared to Instagram on February 3, 2026, the 61-year-old wrestling legend revealed he had been readmitted to the hospital. Knobbs thanked his supporters while opening up about how draining the situation has become.
>“I know I haven’t given you guys an update in a while. I’m back in the hospital again—another curveball. Thank you to all of you out there for your prayers and blessings.”
>“I’ve got to give a shoutout to the Cauliflower Alley Club and all their board members for helping me out over the last seven years. It’s one thing after another. You think you’re getting ready and everything’s going good, and then I’m back in here again—getting poked everywhere, and I’ve got another infection. It kind of gets your spirits down.”
This update follows his August 2025 video:
>“Everything’s been going on—it’s been quite emotional. They found out that my foot is infected again, and now they’re talking about amputation. On top of that, my wife had an accident… a compound fracture. Now she’s laid up in rehab.”
>“This is probably the hardest time in my 61 years on this earth. I love you all. Please, if you can, go to my GoFundMe. Anything helps.”
As of now, his fundraiser has reached $35,837 toward its $50,000 goal.
