News on the wrestlers with elevated liver enzyme levels

Super Crazy has been added to the list of wrestlers with elevated liver enzyme levels, which is why his scheduled match on the Bash was changed and Matt Hardy replaced him.

The main concern right now is that the wrestlers testing with high levels (Great Khali, Bobby Lashley) may have Hepatitis C, an incurable condition that is easily spread, which is why contact between anyone testing positive with high liver enzymes and other wrestlers is not allowed.

Great Khali's test level was very minimal over the normal level, and he was re-tested earlier today, so if that test comes back normal, he could be back in the ring as soon as this week as long as everything else checks out.

The others who have tested with high levels have been "off the charts high," according to once source, and further tests are being done on them.

I'll hold off till I see it on PWI or WO.

[Skippord]

Lame

[Dorkchop]

If this is actually true, it's pretty depressing.

If it's not, I hope it's not serious and they're ok.

Hmm did a little research on Hepatitis C, here's what I found. Its from wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatitis_c

Chronic hepatitis C may be suspected on the basis of the medical history (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_history), unexplained symptoms, or abnormal liver enzymes or liver function tests found during routine blood testing.

Chronic hepatitis C is defined as infection with the hepatitis C virus persisting for more than six months.

The diagnosis of hepatitis C is rarely made during the acute phase of the disease because the majority of people infected experience no symptoms during this phase of the disease. Those who do experience acute phase symptoms are rarely ill enough to seek medical attention. The diagnosis of chronic phase hepatitis C is also challenging due to the absence or lack of specificity of symptoms until advanced liver disease develops, which may not occur until decades into the disease.

So who's the cluprit, Crazy, Lashley, or Khali

[Dorkchop]

Lita?

[redoneja]

Well, let's not get the cart before the horse now. It should be made clear that this is still a rumor that has not been confirmed by the WWE itself, or a reputable source(ie Dave Meltzer).

This is just the first hypothesis I've heard about the enzyme level incidents. I'm not a doctor or medical student so I have no idea what else could cause a raise in liver enzymes. Hopefully, this is not a true newsbit and these men do not have Hepatitis C.

[Vastardikai]

I don't think it's Hepatitis C at this point, I think they just took the people off the card to be on the safe side.

[FourFifty]

Lashley might be out for good.....

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Wasn't Bob Orton in deep shit because he bled all over the ring and had hepatitis?

[FourFifty]

Fact: That was only a rummor.
Fact: No one was able to prove it.
Fact: If it was true and people knew about it the WWE would be in deep shit.
Fact: No one said which Tom Hanks movie who ever started that rumor took the format for saying "Fact" then listing off a fact from.

[KingofOldSchool]

Well no matter if you want to believe it or not right now, this might be a very logical reason as to why all of these wrestlers have been having liver problems.

I just hope no one's career will be jeopardized because of this.

Actually, if you've looked around the threads, several comments have been made about how Steroids and other drugs can raise your liver count. Maybe you haven't seen them, it just seems unlikely.

Hep C doesn't seem like the most likely culprit here, is all. Especially with the prevalence of drugs within the WWE.

Although anabolic steroids could be an explanation for the string of high liver enzyme tests coming in for the WWE SmackDown! lockerroom, there is reportedly a greater fear that the wrestlers' tests results are due to Hepatitis C.

There is absolutely nothing to confirm that's the case right now, but due to the highly contagious nature of the diseases, it's certainly a concern for the lockerroom.

As of this writing, Super Crazy, Bobby Lashley and The Great Khali had all been pulled from the road due to high liver enzyme counts. Khali was only a hair above the "normal" range, so he could be on his way back soon.

Lashley and Crazy, however, were said to be "off the charts" with their test results, and will undergo further evaluations to diagnose the problem.

[Corkscrewed]

Damn Eddie's burritos.

[Londoner]

Why does it have to be Khali who has the least to worry about? That's what annoys me most, that the least entertaining/talented 'wrestler' has hardly anything wrong with him.

This is seriously bad news though.:|

That's tru. But, to be fair, the company has a policy on how to deal with a drug problem. Hep C -- or diabetes, or any other organ-damaging disease -- would be a 'greater fear' since you can't really send a guy to rehab for it.

[Shadow]

...oh shit.

I hope Matt Hardy's ok.

[Londoner]

OOC: Wow you sound like an asshole.


What made me sound like an arsehole? Yeah sure I feel bad for Khali having similar problems to the other two, but i just don't find him entertaining so naturally i'm going to be more dissapointed about the other two as they entertain me more.

Greater fear, just less likely.

That's a pretty selfish standpoint.

[FourFifty]

It'd suck if it happened to any wrestler, but let's face it. Khali's potential loss won't have the same impact as Lashley, Super Crazy or Matt Hardy.
It'd be like if Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom and Kevin Smith got into a car wreck and died. Sucks for Paris, but not a huge loss. Bloom and Smith on the other hand, that'd suck for the world.
So yea, sucks for Khali, but I'm not going to miss him if he has to stay out. Crazy, Hardy, Lashley, that just breaks my heart.

That's callous. You know that if ANY of those people died, there'd be at least ONE person somewhere who would be absolutely devastated, and I don't wish that upon anybody.

[FourFifty]

Maybe it'd be better if I said they all moved to cuba to smoke out and retire, but what I'm getting at is people aren't going to miss Khali as much as they'll miss the others. Super Crazy isn't headed to the main event but he has a lot of good matches left in him, there's still hope for Hardy to make it big, and Lashley has a world of potential ahead of him. Khali is a one trick pony with a one track mind. He's the least talented hoss that I can recall since Giant Gonzales.
Khali only got signed because Vince has a hard on for big guys. Did the guy have any prior experince in wrestling before he got signed into DSW? No. He was an overgrown actor that needed subtitles since you couldn't understand him.
It sucks for Khali. He might have held a title for a little longer than Bob Backlund's last WWF title run. I'm not stoked that there's a small chance that we won't see him any time soon, but it's not a huge loss to me.
Super Crazy, Matt Hardy, Bobby Lashley, that's a big blow.
Khali, not so big of a blow.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I see what you're saying, but it's still callous. Just because somebody isn't as good at their job as somebody else doesn't mean you should be happy about them getting sick.

[Kane Knight]

What he meant was pretty obvious though. Hilton might be missed, but her impact is about as noticable on the world as the Geiko Gecko. The only difference is one is a ficticious character, and the other's a talking lizard on TV.

Yeah, it was callous, but we got the point.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I never said I didn't get what he was saying. I just said it was callous and kinda selfish. I'm not mad or anything. I'm capable of being callous and selfish myself.

Yeah he did actually. He was trained at a wrestling school (the name APW rings a bell) and he has wrestled in Japan, where he became quite popular.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

I hate that it happened badly, for all of them.


Still though, (and maybe I'm wrong) I like Khali, damn it. So out of all of those, I want to see him back soon. Hell, I'd like to see ALL of them back and healthy, no doubts. As for entertainment value, give me Hardy and Khali, followed by Lashley and Crazy in last.

[Savio]

Hepatitus C is having the best week ever!

BOOOOOO Hep C!, boo indeed.

[FourFifty]

Well, my bad, I took my info from obsessedwithwrestling.com, and it didn't mention him in Japan on his highlights.

Khali < SHIT. I know it sounds pretty harsh, but dammit we all know it's true!

Yeah, they are both the product of Shadow's semen.
