As previously reported, former WWE and ECW star the Blue Meanie, aka Brian Heffron, spoke about dealing with broken ribs after a recent fall, along with the death of a family member. In a post on his Instagram account, Heffron shared a new update, thanking fans for their recent well wishes.

Heffron 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.”

As noted, Heffron announced his injury earlier this week, 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!”

Heffron’s Mind of Meanie podcast is also on hiatus as he recovers from his injury. The podcast recently 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.”

On behalf of 411, we send our best wishes to the Blue Meanie in his recovery, and we send our condolences to him and his family on their loss.
