According to the 11/29 issue of the
Wrestling Observer newsletter, Dean Malenko suffered a heart attack. He was experiencing chest pains at the 10/26 Smackdown tapings and then went to the hospital to have the arterial blockage taken care of. He just returned to his job as a road agent at Survivor Series. Malenko is only 50. Wow, here's hoping that it was just a minor thing and that Dean-o Machine-o is alright. Dude's way too young to be brushing up with death. Hopefully, he starts taking care of himself. Get completely well soon, Dean!
Remember you can contact TH and ask him questions about wrestling, life or anything else. Please refer to this post for contact information. He always takes questions!
Wouldn't have had Malenko down as a guy who has mistreated his body either, outside of taking bumps in crazy juniors matches.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's so much drugs or bumps, but maybe Malenko liked fried foods and other unhealthy cuisine?
ReplyDeleteI don't peg Malenko as irresponsible with health or anything, either; definitely surprising. Also, when 3/4 of a stable that was close out of kayfabe has been hit with death/ailments, it makes you wonder a little...
ReplyDeleteQuick, where's Perry Saturn??
Could just be bad genetics. That's not outside the realm of possibility.
ReplyDeleteHope he doesn't suffer too bad from after-effects. He was one of my favorties back from the Monday Night Wars.
You guys are nuts, it's pretty well known that the Malenkos (Dean and Joe) were your hookup years ago if you needed anything to, errr.... get you through your day.
