WWE legend Bob Armstrong battling cancer and refused treatment for illness
He was not on the list.
WWE legend “Bullet” Bob Armstrong has refused treatment for his ongoing cancer battle.
The 80-year-old Hall of Famer – whose sons are referee Scott Armstrong and “Road Dogg” Jesse James – is still working out and lifting weights despite being diagnosed with bone cancer in his ribs, shoulder and prostate.
His son Scott shared a photo of his iconic father staying in shape, and he revealed his dad is pushing himself even with his condition.
He tweeted: ‘Today my 80yr old Dad, @WWE Hall of Famer Bullet Bob, asked if he could come over to get a workout!
‘He’s got bone cancer in his ribs, shoulder and prostate and chose not to go through any treatment (his choice)!
‘I put 30lbs on there and he said, “Gimme 100lbs!!! #Motivation’
“Bullet” Bob is beloved in the wrestling world.
The wrestling world was quick to respond, with fans and talent alike all paying tribute to Bob, who was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011.
Shane “Hurricane” Helms wrote: ‘Stud!!! He’s the man!’
Lance Storm also sent some kind words, but he couldn’t resist a light hearted dig at the background of Scott’s snap.
‘Give my best to the Bullet. Also, you have a shoe problem,’ he teased.
Scott D’Amore – IMPACT Wrestling’s Co-Executive Vice President – describes Bob as a ‘truly great man’.
He tweeted: ‘It was such an honor to get to work with you father. He is a true legend and not just a great wrestler but a truly great man.
‘God bless him. Thoughts and prayers are with you, Bullet, and the entire Armstrong family.’
