Former WWE star Fandango says he “almost died in a hotel room” during his time with the company
In a documentary published to TNA Wrestling’s YouTube channel, former WWE/TNA star JDC aka Fandango opened up about personal struggles during his time with WWE…
“There were times where I started missing shows in WWE because I was out partying all night. I should have checked into treatment then.
It was January of 2019. I was actually supposed to fly back to TV. I had been out of the ring for about a year with labrum surgeries, and I had a ticket to go to Oklahoma City for Raw on Sunday. Instead, I decided to go down to Tampa and party on a Wednesday or Thursday.
Like I just talked about with self-sabotaging, I didn’t want to go back to TV and fail — or maybe I thought I would. So I decided to party for three or four days straight and then almost died in a hotel room.
I made a call to Mark Carrano and WWE and said I was ready. That was the best night’s sleep I ever had. I went into treatment for 60 days, and it was the best 60 days of my life.
Best decision I ever made besides marrying my wife.”
