Ricky Steamboat Hospitalized
WWE issued the following statement this afternoon. We are told this is a legitimate situation and not a storyline article to continue Monday's angle
with the Nexus group:
Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat performed a stunt with other Legends this past Monday. Late Wednesday night, Ricky was experiencing pain in
his neck and shoulder, and immediately went to the hospital. It is not clear if his current condition is related to his performance on Monday night.
WWE is waiting to hear more from the attending physicians.
WWE Hall of Famer Ricky Steamboat is currently listed in stable condition in Tampa, Florida where he's being held for what is believed to be a brain
aneurysm. Steamboat underwent a surgical procedure to determine the severity of the aneurysm yesterday and there is no timetable for when he will be
released from the hospital. I was told it's likely going to be a long process.
Steamboat was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday evening after experiencing severe pain in his neck and shoulders. Steamboat lives in Charlotte, NC
but was in Tampa for WWE developmental training work.
Steamboat's son Richie, currently a WWE developmental talent, wrote last night via twitter, "Keep my dad in your thoughts & prayers. The issues are
worse than expected but he could be worse. God will help him through it!!!"
While thus far WWE has stated the "medical issue" (they have not publicly confirmed the aneurysm) was unrelated to the angle on Monday where
Steamboat was beaten by the Nexus, there is at least some concern within the company that the angle and the medical problems might be related. I
wouldn't go so far as to say there's heat on the Nexus crew but there's certainly unhappiness about this turn of events.
WWE has not released any additional statement or information on Steamboat's condition. The company released a DVD about Steamboat's career this
past Tuesday. |

He's out of the hospital, and expected to make a full recovery, but he's never going to be able to wrestle again. One report I heard, claimed he's
not allowed to lift anything over 5 pounds. |
