Damn, I just read it was a brain aneurysm. I had no idea it was that serious. Hopefully he gets better soon.

Doctors in Tampa after results came in from his angiogram have determined the issues of Ricky Steamboat (Richard Blood, 57), came from a capillary burst that caused bleeding on the brain.
The original diagnosis was a brain aneuyrsm.
As of yesterday he remained hospitalized and was in stable condition and fully responsive. He will be most likely be hospitalized for another five days and given another angiogram to determine how he is healing up. The brain bleed is considered the serious issue, as capillary bursts usually heal themselves.
Capillary bursts most frequently come from blunt force.

The last line means Skip is f*****.

It's good it wasn't as serious as it sounded. I hope Ricky will give his blessing for the WWE to continue the Legends storyline. And the thread title needs updating.

It is still quite serious. WWE didn't want his son tweeting about it either, because he was saying it was pretty bad, but they were trying to re-assure everyone and say everything was fine.
They've also went out of their way to say what happened to Steamboat had nothing to do with the moves he took on raw, although that is clearly not the case.

People are jumping to conclusions about this being the fault of one of the Nexus guys.
Is it possible...sure. But aneurysms and the sort are the type of thing to build up over time, and it seems like it was undiagnosed for a period of time. If it was caught before, it could have been treated before it burst.
But if it really is serious enough to have caused a subdural hematoma, trouble is brewing. For everybody involved with this one.

Which would strongly indicate the NXT stuff.

Which would strongly indicate the NXT stuff. I study medicine, so let me try giving this a whirl. I was indicating that a hematoma, where there's a build-up of blood in cerebral tissue, would be the feared end-result of the "capillary burst"/ aneurysm, which in my opinion are essentially similar. Yeah, the actual burst itself can be associated with blunt force trauma, but the weakness in the blood vessel is usually caused by a number of factors besides blunt force including high blood pressure, and high cholesterol (in other words, dietary and genetic factors). So I was just saying that while it's easy to blame the former NXT'ers, it's possible that it could have been due to other causes.

20 years ago, these guys would be in the ring bragging about putting Steamboat in the hospital (ala Stan Hansen breaking Brunos neck) Nowadays, im probably sure wwe will make them apologize for the beating or some kind of garbage like that.

Um...I know everything was always better at some point in the past than it is now, but I think this may actually be progress. I mean, assuming this is linked to what happened in the ring, shit happens, so it's not really necessary for anybody to apologize, but I'm not real hot on the idea of guys bragging about injuring each other either. I think we can find a middle ground.

Its extremely doubtful this is mentioned within the realm of the angle. Then again, its WWE, and they stuck things up JRs butt while he was having a procedure, so who knows.

All the Nexus guys did was do what they were supposed to do. For anyone to blame them is silly. It's not like they did what Bob Holly did to Matt Cappotelli. Steamboat knows how to take bumps, and if he wasn't in condition to do that then he shouldn't have been out there. It's not like they DDT'd him on a concrete floor. I always worry about something like this when a non wrestler takes any kind of bump in the ring (or out of it.) I'm just glad this didn't happen when they beat up Vince.

Yep, 'cause publicly apologizing for giving someone a brain aneurysm is so awful. Kayfabe shouldn't ever extend quite that far.

The F4W report did also say that the doctors examining him felt that the capillary burst was not related to Monday's angle. It might not stop people trying to link it though, which will affect the Nexus guys if there are influential people backstage who want to sabotage them.

Capillary bursts most frequently come from blunt force. f4wonline.com The last line means Skip is f*****. Yeah, it's his fault that they work in a business where they give guys bumps and someone had the idea that a 57 year old should be out there taking them and risking injury to himself.

First report didn't mention what the doctors though. I think it's a weird coincidence. A really weird coincidence. But if the doctors are claiming it had nothing to do with it, I guess we can rule it out.

Unless every person you know who's had a stroke was clotheslined by a professional wrestler.

I don't think it'd be fair to blame the Nexus guys for this. Steamboat's matches last year with Chris Jericho were much more physical yet he never suffered any major health issues. It was probably just a fluke thing.

But a 50 something year old guy taking some damn stiff shots by a bunch of green wrestlers (a few of whom like Otunga are completely clueless and not properly trained), complaining he felt bad after the angle and had a headache, and then suffering some sort of brain trauma a few days later makes you think. It doesn't appear to be the case here, but you can't be surprised that was what people thought.

Whether or not this is a co-incidence I really don't know. But there is a difference between a almost 60 retired wrestler taking bumps from someone who has been trained for years than taking bumps from a bunch of new guys with little experience. Lets just be thankful this wasn't worse.
