First and foremost, let me make it clear that things seem to be ok.
That’s a scary situation. Wrestlers are a weird cross between some of the most unique people in the world and normal people like you and I. There are going to be good days and bad days, but at the end of the day, their health is what matters most. Some wrestlers are in better shape than others, but on occasion bad things can happen out of nowhere, which was the case this week.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com, Scott Steiner collapsed at Friday night’s Impact Wrestling tapings and was rushed to the hospital. Steiner was filming a backstage segment when he collapsed, though it is not clear what happened. Since then, both Scott D’Amore and Tommy Dreamer have tweeted from the hospital, saying that Steiner was “doing well” and “is ok”. Steiner was taking part in a TNA themed episode of Impact Wrestling and is scheduled to be part of the TNA themed event over WrestleMania weekend.

Steiner has had a heck of a career. Check out some of his better days:
Opinion: What matters here is that Steiner seems to be ok. He’s one of the real living legends of wrestling as he had an outstanding singles career that actually paled in comparison to his time with his brother Rick. That’s a scary thing to hear about though and hopefully he’s back to his usual insane self sooner rather than later. Steiner has been around for so long that it’s hard to imagine him not being there, and I don’t want that to be the case anytime soon.
What is your favorite Steiner match? Was he better on his own or with his brother? Let us know in the comments below.
