Reading about Piper on WWE.com, I got to wondering, has there ever been a wrestler diagnosed with cancer, after treatment returned to the ring? Not in a commentary/manager-type role, but actual matches.

Actually, yeah, he did. I remember the "One Ball" jokes from a few years ago.

When exactly was this? I'm pretty sure it wasn't true.

Can't pin-point a date but there are numerous Google hits related to it.

Actually it may have been just a scare and they removed one of his testicles to be sure.
