UFC champ Brock Lesnar deemed 'very sick' after collapse in Canada
Posted: November 15, 2009, 11:22 AM by Noah Love

Ultimate Fighting Championship champion Brock Lesnar's career might be in jeopardy.

UFC president Dana White told reporters at UFC 105 in Manchester that Lesnar took a vacation to Canada while battling what doctors thought was mononucleosis, but that things got worse for the heavyweight north of the border, where he suffered a collapse and had to be hospitalized.

"He's in a hospital up in North Dakota somewhere right now," White said. "He went to Canada and some bad stuff happened to him, so we've got to figure it out.

"He doesn't want to talk about it publicly, but he's in bad shape. He's not well and he's not going to be getting well anytime soon."

White said Lesnar does have ailments beyond mono, but said the former WWE wrestler does not have AIDS or cancer. He added that UFC will help in sending its marquee star to a high-end clinic to get him the best treatment possible.

------------------------------------------
I wish him the best and hope he gets well!

Honest November 15th, 2009 1:03 PM

Oh no. Lesnar can't go. He was my fave wrestler when I was really little. I remember him and Big Show breaking the ring. =3

I wish him the best of luck. He'll get through. He's tough like that. ;]

Oh no... Lesnar better not get hurt to much. Do you know if the disease is life threatening, Mewthree?

I don't think its life threatening from what I've read, but its uncommon for a man his age to have it, but the athlete diet might explain somethings. He had surgery today in North Dakota from whats being reported also.

Brock Lesnar Health Update: Hole In His Intestines, MMA Future In Jeopardy
By Michael Bluth

UFC President Dana White spoke to Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday and provided yet another update on Brock Lesnar's health status. While it was reported earlier this week that Lesnar was suffering from a bacterial infection in his intestines, it turns out he actually had a hole in his intestine and has not been 100% for an entire year.

"Brock was in big pain, he was hurting.... We don’t know if he’ll ever fight again. He had a hole in his intestine. The (stuff) was leaking into his stomach. That’s what was causing him so much pain. That and he had abscesses. The doctor told him he hasn’t been right for a year. His immune system has been trying to fight this thing and that’s why he was susceptible to getting sick.... We’ll find out more next week. We’re going to send him to the Mayo Clinic for a couple of days. I don’t know what to say. It’s looking better now than last week, but what that means, I don’t know."

Brock Lesnar is scheduled to visit the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN early next week for a battery of tests. His trainer Greg Nelson spoke to the Star Tribune this week and sasid, "No one can tell, but it seems right now it's something he'll definitely recover from." While this should be considered good news, Nelson stressed that it's too early to tell when Lesnar will fight again.

Raw and Smackdown this week were at their best, no joke. The matches were spectacular in everyway (Though Ziggler should have won...)

Raw was and Madison Square!!! I could get there within 30 minutes from my house! I loved the Triple Threat Tag Team match. I found it messed up that Undertaker tomb stoned Cena though...

SD! was pure awesome, with The Bro. Of Destruction vs. Jerio-show. I found it awesome how Y2J was reigning tall. =3

How long has Ziggler been gunning for the Intercontinental Championship? Months?

Pokeyomom November 23rd, 2009 2:48 PM

Man... I watched a little RAW last week for sentimental reasons, and couldn't make it past 30 minutes. Did any of you guys happen to follow wrestling back in like 97', 98', 99', 00', 01', etc? I think it has so gone to hell. No good gimmics anymore:C I still love wrestling, and I'm not hating, but does anybody else see it this way? What happened?

BHwolfgang November 25th, 2009 3:31 PM

I though the Undertaker was a face and Kane was a heel? How could they still team up?

TV-PG-V is what happened.

Hmmm..... I hate TV-PG. I BLAME IT ON HORNSWOGGLE!!!!!

.Wolfie-kun. November 28th, 2009 12:49 PM

I watched parts it waay back in 98-00 with my brother and sister. I was still quite young back then so I couldn't comprehend what was going on.

But what I DO remember, was how exciting it was to watch every match. I was always in awe when Team Xtreme entered the ring and cleaned house.

Around this time, I used to actually be scared of Undertaker and his Ministry of Darkness - also Kane back when he was masked and almost unstoppable.

Now it's all gone down the drain - I actually properly started following by myself around 2006 when DX were about to reunite once again. Sure this wasn't as up to standard as the Attitude Era, but it was still good to watch. I even ENJOYED watching John Cena F-U Edge through two tables from 16ft in the air - as fake as that was. I'll never forget it - my first PPV.

Now though it's just on life support, and all because of this PG rubbish. Screw the kids! Put blood back! Bring back the awesome gimmicks! BRING BACK THE MINISTRY OF DARKNESS!

I wish they'd actually look at us older fans and not 7-10 year olds who only watch it to see John Cena win everything. All I have to do now is look at a fixture for a PPV and think that a certain person will win it for certain, and the majority of the time I'm right - because it's so predictable!

Even for those who compare now and back in the day and know it's fixed and hate it for that reason, surely you can even say that most matches in the Attitude Era were unpredictable?

Sigh, it's things like this that make me slightly glad that I don't have Sky anymore to watch it, but that little kid inside still longs for the Attitude Era.

R.I.P Good WWE

/Rant over.

Yes, yes you are. Hornswoggle sucks. Guest Hosts suck(with a few exceptions). Most importantly TV-PG SUCKS!!!

Vernikova November 30th, 2009 5:18 PM

I agree that Hornswoggle is annoying but I'm honestly alright with the rest. I actually think that the show has bigger problems than that but I won't repeat them.

Honest November 30th, 2009 5:26 PM

PG sucks. I want to see more Divas ;)

Lolz, I really don't like the fact that they made it PG. Just seems like a bad idea.

From what was being said, he is concentrating on his own wrestling federation down in Texas called PWA for awhile. Booker T was quite uncooperative in TNA.

WWE PPV Buyrates For Breaking Point, Hell In A Cell & Bragging Rights
By Michael Bluth

Corporate.WWE.com has updated some new financial information that includes PPV buyrate estimates for three of the company's new gimmick-concept events.

- WWE Breaking Point drew under 200,000 buys, making it the least successful event of 2009. The submission-themed show featured The Undertaker's first WWE match since WrestleMania. By comparison, the event that Breaking Point replaced (WWE Unforgiven) drew close to 225,000 buys last year. WWE recently released its PPV schedule for 2010 and WWE Breaking Point was not part of the schedule, so this event may be a one time affiar.

- WWE Hell in A Cell PPV, which featured three Hell in a Cell cage matches, drew around 300,000 buys, way up from the 261,000 buys that No Mercy 2008 drew.

- WWE Bragging Rights, which featured a Raw vs. SmackDown theme, drew approximately 200,000 buys. This is a big improvement over the event it replaced (Cyber Sunday,) which drew 153,000 buys in 2008.

Sorry for the triple post, but...very sad, and possibly tragic news...

Umaga Hospitalized & In Very Serious Condition
By Michael Bluth

Former WWE superstar Edward “Umaga” Fatu, 36, is currently in a Houston hospital and is in very bad shape. A long-time friend described his condition as “life threatening.”

Details are still sketchy at this point, but he apparently fell asleep last night while watching television, and several hours later, his wife found him not breathing with blood coming out of his nose. He was rushed to the hospital last night and his family has been told to fly into town as quickly as possible.

PWTorch.com’s James Caldwell posted a message this afternoon that Umaga was dead from prescription pain pills and WWE was already preparing a statement regarding his death, but that news was quickly taken offline. There has been talk among many wrestlers that Umaga is dead or brain dead, but at this time, his family will only confirm that he’s been hospitalized.

As of this writing, Umaga is NOT dead, but has been hospitalized and from what we can tell, is fighting for his life. We wish him the very best and hope he pulls through this.

Eddie Fatu Has Died
Written by Sean Hopkins

I have received word from Richard that Eddie Fatu, known to millions of WWE fans as Umaga, has died.

Various reports have stated that Fatu suffered a massive heart attack in his sleep, although those reports remain unconfirmed at this time.

The WWE posted a short blurb about Fatu's passing which can be found here

All of us here at WNW would like to extend our deepest condolences to the friends and family of Eddie. Yet another wrestler has been taken away far too young.
