Ricky Steamboat hospitalized for brain aneurysm

Various sites are reporting that Ricky Steamboat was legitimately hospitalized and F4WOnline.com is reporting that he suffered a brain aneurysm.  No real details yet other than that he was banged up from the angle on Monday (though it may be a coincidence) and his prognosis is "good to excellent."  I don't recall any other wrestlers who have suffered a brain aneurysm in the past besides Alex Wright in the late '90s.  While he was much younger than Steamboat, he did make a full recovery.

Update from F4WOnline:

Ricky Steamboat's condition has been upgraded to stable, but he is likely to be hospitalized for some time after suffering a brain aneurysm last night in Tampa.
