WWE Legend Raven Has Been Diagnosed With Early On-Set Parkinson's
Speaking on the Ariel Helwani show while promoting his documentary Nevermore, Raven revealed that he had been diagnosed with early on-set Parkinson's disease. He said that if he had a tremor, that was the reason for it.

Is Triple H getting overconfident? Here are the signs!
The WWE and ECW legend admitted that it had not touched his life too badly yet, but when he got anxious, then the tremor became worse. On top of that, he had a sleeping disorder. He went on to say that for all the addiction issues he had gone through, and the chair shots to the head, that it was natural that something would go wrong.
"I'm lucky, it has not affected me too bad. It just when I get anxious, the tremor gets worse, or when I’m really tired, and I have a sleep disorder. Look, you got to pay the piper. Sometimes, you know, for all the dr**s and alcohol and chair shots I took to the head. You know you gotta, you gotta pay for the damage at some point."
