NEWS: The Rock Inspired by Man with Terminal Cancer

NEWS: Every once in awhile you'll come across a story that makes you proud to be a wrestling fan, a story that makes you puff up & tear up to be associated with professional wrestling. This is one of those stories. Matt Klutka is a wrestling fan that was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. Given only weeks to live, the Rock was inspired to give Klutka a call of a lifetime. "Sunday strength. An unforgettable call. Yesterday a buddy of mine Shawn Perine sent me a story to read about an amazing man named Matt Klutka. Matt has terminal cancer and told he only has a few weeks left. He told me Matt was a big fan of mine and a phone call would mean the world to him. I emailed my bud back with simply, "Are you kidding me? I'll call him in 15 minutes!" As it turned out it was a call I'll never forget for the rest of my life. Matt couldn't have been more upbeat and positive. We talked about our favorite movies, our passion for hard core workouts (he still trains hard and pushes himself DAILY), told a dirty joke or two and talked about our pride of being fathers (he has an 11yr old son Cebran and says "I couldn't ask for a better kid!"). As we wrapped up the call I told him how proud I was of him and how much just hearing his voice has inspired me. He thanked me from the bottom of his heart and said with vigor and determination, "I just gotta keep pushing". I hung up the phone a grateful man and knew how blessed I was to hear his voice. Thank you Matt for the inspiration and reminding all of us that time is indeed our greatest currency. To use it as best we can, to have as much fun as we can and to love as strongly as we can, because we never know when our time will be up. Stay strong brother. And keep pushing," The Rock stated via his official Instagram account. Klutka was diagnosed with cancer in December of 2013 and we at Cheap Heat Wrestling are pulling for Klutka to keep fighting for years to come and also to kick cancer's ass.
