Diamond Dallas Page Hospitalized with Throat Issue

On the morning of Saturday, Feb. 7, three-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion Diamond Dallas Page announced that he had been placed in the Intensive Care Unit of Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. The man who was a surprise entrant in the 2015 Royal Rumble match revealed that his hospitalization was due to a serious throat issue, known as “subglottic stenosis.”

Additionally, DDP gave an anecdote about his appearance at the “Royal Rumble” pay-per-view, and how he snuck to the event:

“My throat was so dry Bk and Kim went out to get me a humidifier but I couldn’t use it yet cause I had to sneak out on Saturday morning to fly to the ROYAL RUMBLE. No one knew except Steve and I told Scott and Jake right before I left.”

“I can’t fly into PHILLY because the fans will see me at the airport so they had to fly me into Newark and the only flights (connections) I can get on gets me in like midnight after flying all day (Brutal on my throat) next day they limo us in and hide us on the bus for about 8 hours so nobody knows who there (BUBBA was so funny… for the first 5 hours he held up good but the last 3 hours he was like a caged animal) anyway if you saw the Rumble (can’t believe because of weather they had to play the RUMBLE on Monday RAW… Thank You GOD… Best push I ever got with the company… special Thanks to PS Hayes and Carrano… Stardust… FanDango… Wyatt and Rusev smile emoticon You know it was an Awesome night for DDP and DDPY … Diamond Cutters for EVERYONE.”

Jeez. That sounds rough. Hopefully DDP pulls through with all of his treatment.
