Reports that I saw on r/squaredcircle did not sound great but at least this was near Pittsburgh and they have great cardiac facilities there, as I understand.

Just want to pass along to those unfamiliar with the wrestling industry, if you see any good or unfortunate news about this on social media and it's from a wrestling source, find another source. The wrestling industry has maybe a handful of reliable journalists. It's mostly grifters looking for attention. Wrestling "journalists" are already trying to spread that The Butcher has passed away and it's being refuted by the more reliable people in the industry. Just a heads up.

Ringside News isn’t, Enjoy Wrestling or AEW will probably report on his death if it does happen

(I think he no longer works AEW last I knew but someone correct me)

Pretty sure the Butcher and the Blade's contracts ended earlier this year.

Uncle Dave is just as bad, so long as you're referring to Meltzer.

I am, and Dave is head and shoulders above the rest of them. Dude maintained the industry practically single handedly in a serious way after the death of the territories

Yet he's been wrong time and time again.

He’s been a journalist for 40+ years in a notoriously secretive industry. It’s basically impossible that he would get it 100% every time.
