Beefcake, a former WWE Tag Team Champion, was best known for portraying multiple gimmicks in WWE and WCW. During his recent appearance on The Wrestling Inc. Daily, Beefcake reflected on his parasailing accident in July 1990, and how the life-threatening incident denied him a run as WWE  Intercontinental Champion. His career was put on hold for a few years due to the accident before he returned for a brief run with the WWE in 1993.

Earlier this month, the 64-year-old Beefcake appeared at the River City Wrestling Con at the Jacksonville Fairgrounds.

Beefcake was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2019. He was featured on a recent episode of WWE's Most Wanted Treasures on the A&E Network.

Stay tuned for updates on Beefcake's health.
