WWE Hall of Fame legend Harley Race has been hospitalized and is facing what looks like an uphill battle. The news came a few days ago when his representatives reported that Race canceled upcoming appearances and was admitted to the hospital.
World League Wrestling, which is owned by Harley Race, released a statement on Instagram about his status and what happened.
According to the statement, Race was supposed to attend the Knoxville Fanboy Expo when he “exhibited some signs” that he needed medical help.
He was taken to the hospital on Thursday evening and remained there under watch. No information was revealed concerning his health or the exact nature of his medical concerns at the time.
With that in mind, new updates have become available about his health situation.
All upcoming books were canceled for Race and he remains in the hospital at this time.
They also said that there was no news, but that could also be considered good news. They also have new t-shorts available for sale with the money going to help pay Race’s medical expenses.
