Road Dogg Suffers Likely Heart Attack

He’s doing ok. Despite how it might seem on television, wrestlers are people just like anyone else. Some of them might seem to be a little bit too over the top to be believed a lot of the time but they really are people with the same kinds of problems that we have every day. One rather famous name had such a problem and it was a pretty serious one at that.

The Attitude Era is one of the most discussed periods in the history of professional wrestling. While it may or may not be your favorite period, there were some incredible moments and wrestlers that people will remember from that era for a long time to come. Unfortunately, one of the most high profile names from the time has been hit with a pretty hard health scare.

Brian Armstrong, better known as the Road Dogg, has most likely suffered a heart attack, as confirmed by his wife in a series of Facebook posts. The issue took place on Thursday night when Armstrong returned from Orlando, Florida. Armstrong’s kidneys are clear but he has a heart catheterization scheduled for Monday. Armstrong currently works for WWE as part of the production team for NXT.

Armstrong had a pretty great career. Check out some of his better moments:

SmackDown 1/4/00 - Part 4 of 10, Road Dogg vs Kane

Opinion: That is a pretty rough thing to hear but all that matters here is Armstrong’s health improving. A heart attack, or any kind of heart issue for that matter, is one of the worst health issues that anyone can suffer and hopefully things are nowhere near as bad as they seem. There is always a chance that something can be fixed with medicine or surgery and what matters most is that he is as ok as possible.
