The wife of former Stampede Wrestling and WWE legend Dynamite Kid is asking his fans to help him return to his England home after suffering a stroke.

Dynamite, whose real name is Tom Billington, has been in a U.K. hospital since December of last year following a stroke. The popular wrestler has been wheelchair-bound since the 1990s, after a horrific injury to his back left him paralyzed.

His wife, Dot, said in a statement that they haven’t received any royalties from World Wrestling Entertainment, nor has the couple received any help or support.

“We have never ever asked for help from anybody, but we have been left with no choice. This will save his life,” she said in the statement.

Former Stampede Wrestler and member of the famed Hart clan Bruce Hart said the WWE has to step up and help a man who had made them millions of dollars over the years.

“I was told about his condition being pretty grave. I’m going to throw the gauntlet down to Vince McMahon to endeavour to do something for him,” he said.
