Former WWE Superstar Michael Tarver has been battling serious health issues lately. He recently provided an update on his condition after suffering a stroke. Tarver was a former member of the original Nexus led by Wade Barrett. However, it wasn’t long before he was kicked out of the faction following a brutal attack from John Cena on the October 4, 2010, edition of RAW.

Unfortunately, the 48-year-old star was dealing with a legitimate groin injury at that time and had to be written off TV. That was the beginning of the end for Michael Tarver, as he was released by WWE a year later. He would continue to wrestle on the independent circuit for years before disappearing from the business. He last wrestled a match at the Legends of Wrestling Anti-Bullying Wrestlefest in 2019. He has since focused on his music career, becoming a Christian rapper now under the name Monster Tarver.
