The media and Congress have been scrutinizing World Wrestling Entertainment’s wellness program since the triple murder-suicide of Chris Benoit and his family last month. However, that same wellness program may have since saved a life.<\/p>\n
Before the Great American Bash pay-per-view, WWE wrestlers were required to undergo a test in which they ran on a treadmill until their heart rates increased to 150 beats per minute. As a result of that test, it was discovered that wrestler Montel Vontavious Porter (“MVP”), the current U.S. champion on the Smackdown brand, had Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, an abnormal accessory pathway in his heart that could lead to abnormal heart rhythm and increased chance for a heart attack.<\/p>\n
MVP has undergone a procedure to eliminate the pathway. He’s been taken off the road until next week, when an exam will determine whether or not the procedure was successful.<\/p>\n
