***UPDATE***

His prognosis from what can be a fatal encounter is considered good to excellent.

Fuck no!!!! I'm watching his dvd. My thoughts are with him.

That's depressing.  Here's hoping he can make a full recovery.

His short return, and matches with Jericho were the absolute best thing on WWE TV in years.

The latest update on Ricky Steamboat is that doctors after an angiogram have determined his issues that caused bleeding on the brain were a capillary burst, and not a brain aneurysm as originally diagnosed. That is significantly better. His condition has improved today but he is still expected to be hospitalized for several more days. His son noted that his father is a fighter and is battling back. Needless to say that is great news, that his condition is improving. He will need to be hospitalized until a second angiogram that is scheduled in four or five days, to monitor the bleeding.
