- WWE Hall of Famer Greg "The Hammer" Valentine was forced to miss an independent wrestling show on Saturday in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada due to illness.
The former Intercontinental Championship was scheduled to appear at Canadian Wrestling's Elite "Legends Of Wrestling and Professional Sports Convention 2," but his wife told CWE officials that he became "violently ill" on Wednesday.
The company said in a statement on Thursday, "It is with great sadness CWE management has to report that we were contacted by Julie Valentine, the wife of Greg Valentine informing us that Greg became violently ill last night and was hopeful he would be feeling better before his flight this evening but is in need of medical attention and will not be able to attend this weekend's CWE Legends Of Wrestling & Professional Sports Convention 2 in Winnipeg."
This led to Ron Simmons reaching out to D'Lo Brown to appear at the convention in place of Valentine.
