WrestleMania XXX Sammelthread

- Wie die WWE auf WWE.com berichtet, soll sich Billy Gunn bei der Triple Powerbomb von The Shield, die er und sein Tag Team Partner Road Dogg am Ende des Six Man Tag Team Matches bei WrestleMania XXX einstecken mussten, einen Bluthusten zugezogen haben. Bei anschließenden Untersuchungen im Backstagebereich konnten jedoch bei Billy Gunn keine ernsthaften Verletzungen festgestellt werden. Aktuell vermutet man, dass der Bluthusten durch ein kleines geplatztes Blutgefäß zustande kam. WWE Arzt Dr. Chris Amann äußerte sich hierzu wie folgt: “At the very end of the match, Billy sustained a powerbomb maneuver. After that maneuver, he started to develop hemoptysis, which is the medical term for coughing up blood. We brought him back and evaluated him immediately, checked his oxygen, his blood pressure … everything was stable. We got some X-rays of his chest, which did not show any evidence of a collapsed lung, so our diagnosis right now is that he most likely ruptured a small blood vessel that caused bleeding to the airways and, subsequently, coughing up blood.”
