07/05/2010 – The Latest on Ricky Steamboat
From Mike Aldren:
Ricky Steamboat's health has improved to the point he is expected to return home to North Carolina later this week for a month of rest.
Doctors in Tampa now believe that 57-year-old Steamboat suffered a ruptured blood vessel, which caused bleeding on his brain, and not
technically an aneurysm as originally diagnosed. "The WWE has been completely supportive in their efforts to be sure Rick has the very
best doctors," said a family member adding that the company will release more information on his condition in due course. WWE
reported on Thursday, just hours after Steamboat was admitted to hospital, that his ailment was "most likely not related to his
performance on Monday night." The company has since removed videos of last week's angle from its website and YouTube channel.
