According to PW Insider, this was not a worked stretcher job or anything of that nature. The report states that Vikingo was legitimately not feeling well going into his match at TripleMania, and that he was extremely dehydrated. He also apparently didn’t eat much of anything yesterday either. The report also notes that Vikingo is fine, and is not expected to miss any upcoming dates.
From all of us here at Wrestling Headlines we’d like to wish Vikingo a speedy recovery.
