10 WWE Superstars who beat cancer

#7. Jim Duggan

The champion that you want to look up to

Jim Duggan, aka Hacksaw, first worked in WWE between 1984 and 1993. During this time, he became the first-ever winner of Royal Rumble and feuded with the likes of “Macho Man" Randy Savage and Shawn Michaels.

In 1994, he went to WCW where he became the United States Heavyweight Champion. Four years later, he was diagnosed with kidney cancer and he vanished from the TV.

He took a long haul from his work and focused on the treatment. Aiming at his comeback after recovery, Duggan left no stone unturned in winning his battle against cancer. Luckily for Hacksaw, the disease was detected in the early stages. Hence, he didn’t need chemotherapy and overcame cancer with the help of a successful surgery.

Post recovery, Duggan made a comeback in WWE and enjoyed a good career before hanging his boots.

Last year Duggan was hospitalized after his heart went into atrial fibrillation. He was successfully treated and was cleared to leave ICU soon after that.
