The 30-year-old MLW wrestler has been diagnosed with stage four Hodgkin&#8217;s lymphoma. &#8220;It was earth-shattering, devastating,&#8221; Holliday said. &#8220;But I knew right then I needed to change my mindset. The mind powers the body, so I needed to stay positive. I was reassured by my doctor that I could beat this, and I believe I am going to beat this.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My plan is not to lose to lymphoma; my plan is to inspire people,&#8221; added Holliday. &#8220;I\u2019m going to come out of this stronger, and I\u2019m going to let people know they can beat it, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Holliday stated that he plans to return to the ring. &#8220;I think about my return every single day,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I\u2019d be lying if I said I didn\u2019t. But this is a process. I know there are more steps after chemotherapy. Mentally, right now, I am ready. Physically, I know it\u2019s going to take some time. But I will be back.&#8221; Read the full story at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/wrestling\/2022\/12\/06\/mlw-richard-holliday-cancer-hodgkins-lymphoma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SI.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> It&#8217;s noted in the story that Holliday has already gone through six rounds of his scheduled twelve rounds of chemotherapy. I have been a big fan of his work in MLW and I wish him the very best in this battle. He mentioned that he plans to inspire people in one of the quotes listed above. Holliday is already doing that based on the positive outlook he expressed throughout the interview.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-3337153697\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":30295,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,2],"tags":[630,2456],"class_list":["post-121792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-misc_news","category-newsticker","tag-mlw","tag-richard-holliday"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
