As PWMania.com previously reported, former WWE and ECW star The Blue Meanie, whose real name is Brian Heffron, recently shared updates on his health and personal struggles. He is currently dealing with broken ribs following a fall, as well as grieving the loss of a family member.

In a recent post on his Instagram account, Heffron expressed gratitude for the support he has received from fans. He wrote, “Thank you for all the well wishes for my rib injury and condolences for my family loss. It’s been a rough and humbling couple days, but the kindness shown me has helped my mentals.”

Earlier this week, Heffron had announced his injury, stating, “If you’re trying to reach me and I haven’t replied, I am dealing with broken ribs after a fall. I’m in a huge amount of pain. On top of that, I’ve had a death in the family. If you have any special vibes to send my way, I can really use them. Thank you!”

Due to his injury, Heffron’s podcast, “Mind of Meanie,” is currently on hiatus. The podcast announced, “We hate to bring you some bad news, but due to The Blue Meanie’s injury, we’re going to take the next few weeks to let him recover and pause new episodes of the show.”
