All Time Wrestling Great Reportedly Dealing With Health Issues

Please don’t be serious. There are certain wrestlers who become legendary in the sport for one reason or another. You might see a wrestler become a legend because of how they look or talk, but some of them become such stars because of what they can do in the ring. It is special to see someone that talented wrestle a match, but now one of the best ever seems to be having some problems.

During the latest edition of his DDT Snake Pit Podcast, Jake Roberts revealed that Ricky Steamboat was going through health issues. Roberts did not go into detail on what was wrong with Steamboat or how serious the issues were, nor has Steamboat commented on the situation. Roberts did mention that he hopes it is not due to the DDT that he gave Steamboat on the concrete floor during a match between the two in 1986. Steamboat retired from active wrestling in 1994 but has wrestled the occasional match since.

Opinion: I’m not sure what is going on with Steamboat and I hope that it isn’t anything too serious. Health issues could cover a lot of ground and could be anything from life threatening to an annoyance. What matters most is that Steamboat is healthy, but we might need to wait on another update before we know what is going on. Steamboat really is one of the best eve rand I could go for seeing him do something again one day.

What do you think of Steamboat? What was his best match? Let us know in the comments below.
