if it was an angle, they would've said that he would probably have to stay in the hospital for a few weeks...then next week on Raw you'd see Steamboat jump the rails to attack the Nexus...cause in wrestling saying that they will not show up, means they actually will.

As long as both he's Ok and nobody has to get fired, that's good news.

LATEST UPDATES ON RICKY STEAMBOAT by Mike Johnson @ 8:55 AM on 7/2/2010
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 and 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 and some heat on the Nexus talents.
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.

So there's not heat on them, but there's heat on them?
The attack didn't cause it, but it may have caused it?
Smells NEWZy to me.
At any rate, get well soon, Dragon.

"See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody's couch like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that." 4 seconds later... "Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie's couch"

Let's just hope he pulls through fine with no complications.
If there's an old-school babyface (besides Dusty) who still has a lot to teach the babyfaces of tomorrow, it's this man.

No one could of predicted this so you can't really blame Nexus.
Get well soon Steamboat.

Hmm, I'm not sure how WWE can confidently say the two were unrelated, but I understand it from a PR point of view.
Even if they're related, I wouldn't put heat on the Nexus guys. Pro wrestling is a darn dangerous activity.
Best wishes to the Dragon for a full recovery.

JR's still a company (and business) man. Of course he's going to say that.

JR's still a company (and business) man. Of course he's going to say that. He's also been entirely honest in everything he's said on Twitter and his blog, and some of it has been a critique of WWE programming and it's talent. No reason to dismiss him as "a company man". None at all.

I hope it's not related, like taking a bump caused the aneurysm to rupture. That would be horrible press for WWE along the lines of Owen and Benoit, not to mention the psychological issues for whoever may have caused it.
