The Official WWE thread

QuoteEdward Fatu, 36, is hospitalized in Houston and in what was described as life threatening condition by a long-time friend.

His family was told to come into town as quickly as possible. Family members have been told they believe he suffered a heart attack.

Details are 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 and he was rushed to the hospital.

Fatu, who lives in nearby Spring, TX, wrestled under a number of names including Ekmo, Jamal and most notably Umaga. He had just returned a few days ago from the Hulk Hogan tour of Australia.

He was released by WWE in June after failing a drug test and refusing the company's wishes to send him to rehab.

RIP Umaga
Had buckets of potential as a big guy who could work.
Hopefully the Wellness Rehab will be taken up more often by those in need.

If this is true could you imagine if he debuted the same night Hogan will be appearing on TNA Impact on Jan 4th. What a night that would be!

Read a bit about this Sheamus dude on wiki. Fluent in Irish and usually to play ball with Erin's Isle!

Santino · December 17, 2009, 11:06:06 AM

Bret Hart is the main reason i really got into wrestling as a kid and his feud with Austin is still my all time favourite.
This is the best news ive heard in a long time!
Let the rumours of one last match begin!

Gabriel_Hurl · January 04, 2010, 10:25:10 PM

tonight's the big night then

Santino · January 04, 2010, 10:32:33 PM

First night i'm sitting up to watch a Raw in yrs b4 going to work. Pity his returns not gonna be in Canada cuz kinda worried Bret'll not get the ovation he deserves in a kid-heavy US crowd.
Haven't been this excited bout an angle since the Invasion.
Fingers-crossed they'll not f#ck this one up!
Hope they build and build it slowly through the show and only have him appear at the end so he doesnt appear just like any other guest host
Lets go Bret!

Gabriel_Hurl · January 04, 2010, 10:36:45 PM

I'll watch the first hour of TNA and see the Hogan stuff and then switch over to Raw
