I'm surprised there's not another thread talking about this, but there's a video out that shows Taker collapsing on near the backstage area after his match. It's getting reported that he wasn't hospitalized, and that he and his wife made it back to their hotel on their own. But damn, this really makes me worried for Undertaker. www.wrestlezone.com/news/612317-the-undertaker-collapses-summerslam |

Too much laughing. His body isn't used to it.

It's almost like he shouldn't do this anymore.

I'm almost certain it's selling.

I hope he's alright and just kind of worn out.

Of f***ing course he did.
I really don't wanna see this guy wrestle anymore. Not only am I sick of him, but it's downright uncomfortable watching an old beat up man take a bunch of bumps. They want this ESPN coverage and stuff, and their main deal is a 55 year old man getting the shit beat out of him and bumping through a table.

Is that him stumbling and then getting right back up immediately afterward?
Doesn't look all that worrying to me. If he went down and stayed down, it would time to hit the panic button.

Honestly not that surprised if he was indeed injured in some capacity given he hasn't exactly had a great track record with his health in recent years. Also don't really get why it would be selling if it was offscreen and where most people in attendance wouldn't be able to see it, particularly given the ending didn't exactly have him leaving in a position of vulnerability or anything and he was walking away triumphant.

I was there live and through all the smoke and fog I could see him collapse and crawl away.
Cameras were on him the entire time.
This will be played up for the storyline for Heyman to prove that Taker is finished. Completely kayfabe stuff.

It's time to hang it up. I love the man and he's been a huge part of my TV life for over 20 years, but I don't want to see him kill himself out there. There is nothing left to prove.

I don't want to worry anyone, but during the NXT Takeover event Finn Balor crawled to the ring. Hope he's OK.

He was seen walking around after the event and he was looking OK. Part of me wonders if they did it knowing that it'd get social media buzz and that he didn't actually have to collapse. Who knows. I hope he's got one or two more and that's it. Dude's getting old.

I hope he's got one or two more and that's it. Dude's getting old. Yeah Ok as in limping around. I'm wondering if his knee gave out on him. Being his as a recent history on how bad his knees are and one of the reasons why he wearing baggier pants is you can clearly see a brace on his knee now. Taker should and deserves to call it a career. He done so much for us fans and give ups more memories then anybody. Yeah I'm not happy to say that because I grow up watching Taker's whole career and is my second favorite wrestler of all time behind the late Roddy Piper. I am coming to terms that the generation of wrestlers I watched as a kid and made me a fans, are no longer and time to move on. Taker you done enough. |

I could see this going either way. Personally, I think it's just part of an angle, but the possibility that he did it because his body couldn't take it is also there.
