Ex-WWE Star Asks For Prayers Following Hospitalization
An ex-WWE star shared an unfortunate health update that led to hospitalization.
Justin Credible, who recently turned his life around with 2 1/2 months of sobriety, revealed that he suffered a health setback and was hospitalized with a calf infection.
He further claimed that the situation was not serious as the bloodwork and testing showed no major adversities.
Credible, whose real name is Peter Polaco, is an ECW Original, having worked with the defunct promotion between 1997 and 2001.
Through regular appearances, he managed to establish himself as a top heel in the company alongside Lance Storm and Jason. He got his biggest push at the turn of the century in 2000, winning the ECW World Heavyweight Championship at CyberSlam.
He held the title for 162 days before losing it to Jerry Lynn at Anarchy Rulz.
Justin Credible returned to WWE for a second stint in 2001 and left in December the following year. He attempted another return in June 2006, but was released from his contract in September.
