TNA Wrestling executive, Bob Ryder, posted the following on his official Twitter account.

“For those who have heard something’s wrong with me, want to give a quick update. Doctors found a tumor on my spine and surgery is Thursday.  It’s not news anybody wants, but it’s something that has to be dealt with and that’s what will start with the surgery. Fingers are crossed.  The support I received from friends, family, and co-workers is amazing and I can’t thank them enough. They are helping me get through this.”

On behalf of us all here on the website, our thoughts and prayers are with Bob as he undergoes surgery this Thursday.  For those wishing to send positive messages to Bob, you can do so by tweeting Bob at twitter.com/brydertna.
