Ex-WWE star Perry Saturn made a rare public appearance this weekend … but sadly, the Attitude Era wrestler says he’s dealing with a traumatic brain injury that limits what he’s able to do.

Saturn was spotted by Bill Apter Saturday at a House of Hardcore event, and told the journalist he’s mainly been dealing with a brain injury since they last spoke a few years ago.

The wrestler says dealing with the symptoms is all he currently does, but luckily his faith and family are helping him get through the difficult injury.  Perry adds, “it’s a struggle right now.”

ABC affiliate WKBW out of Buffalo, NY is reporting that 20-year-old Jonah Snyder died after suffering “a medical emergency” last Thursday at the Black and Brave Wrestling Academy in Moline, IL. The academy is run by Seth Rollins and Marek Brave.

According to the coroner’s report, Snyder was training at the academy with eight other people when he felt ill. Trainers asked him to sit down, however his condition got worse. Trainers called 911 and Snyder went into cardiac arrest when paramedics arrived. Snyder was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The coroner said that the autopsy was inconclusive.

“I think he was set on becoming a professional wrestler,” said Dave Recor, Snyder’s high school wrestling coach. “He was chasing his dream.”
