Former WWE star Top Dolla botched a dive over the top rope in December 2022, and the incident went viral on social media, earning him the nickname “Flop Dolla” from fans.

On the one-year anniversary of the botch, a fan re-posted the video on Twitter/X, and Top Dolla responded with the message below:

โ€œThe botch saved my life. I made that dive a dozen times before, legs felt off but I didnโ€™t think about it. After I failed I went to the doc & found out I had Type II diabetes & my blood sugar was 626. I almost lost my life & was about to lose both feet. The botch saved my life.โ€

Top Dolla wrote that โ€œproper medication changes EVERYTHINGโ€ and when asked if his family has a history of diabetes, he stated the followingโ€ฆ

โ€œYeah, but they all got it in the 40s or later and none of them were pro athletes so it happening in my early 30s blindsided me.โ€
