WWE GERMAN ANNOUNCER SUFFERS HEART ATTACK

By Mike Johnson on 2018-06-18 16:06:00

WWE German language announcer Cartsen Schaefer announced on his Facebook page that he suffered a "mild" heart attack on 6/16, forcing him to miss last night's WWE Money in the Bank PPV.

A translated version of his Facebook post reads, "I saw that some of you were wondering why I didn't comment today. Well, that night I had so strong back pain that I went to the hospital. That's where they found my big surprise that I had a slight heart attack in the last 24 hours. I didn't notice anything. Now everything is settled, and I'm still in hospital until Tuesday or Wednesday. I don't belong to those who hang on to that big bell. But since you were so asked, I wanted to tell you. Sorry I couldn't comment. Thanks to all my loved ones from WWE who took care of me. Greetings to you all. Great to work for WWE. And an equally loving greeting to you because you are you and I may know you too..."

Schaefer wrote today that he will be given some tests tomorrow and if all goes well, he hope to be released on Wednesday.

On behalf of everyone at PWInsider.com, we wish Schaefer a quick and painless recovery.

Thanks to Billy Krotchsen.
