In 2013, Aristotle had a five bypass open heart surgery which led to the discovery of a rare blood cancer, Multiple Myeloma. It was compounded with further complications, an auto-immune disease, and a disease of the stem cells which led to his inability to not walk for a year. While surpassing all odds, he gives all credit to God, his faith, his doctors at University of Cincinnati BMT, and his loving family and friends. He feels personal attributes of strength, intestinal fortitude, and perseverance to fight this battle were developed largely in his career while wrestling.
