Bobby Fulton’s son Dillion shared on Twitter that his father is in the hospital.

According to the statement, the legendary pro wrestler was rushed to the hospital with sepsis and double pneumonia:

“Came back home to NC for the weekend with dad, an hour out had to rush him to the hospital. They've pronounced that dad is sepsis and has double pneumonia! Please keep him in your prayers thanks! -Dillon”

Fulton worked for various promotions Mid-South, World Class Championship Wrestling, Jim Crockett Promotions, WCW, Smoky Mountain Wrestling, Stampede Wrestling and All Japan Pro Wrestling. Fulton was part of The Fantastics with Tommy Rogers where they had notable feuds with The Midnight Express and The Sheepherders.

Fulton had previously announced his retirement from the pro wrestling business as he has been battling throat cancer.

Our thoughts are with the Fulton family.
