He had a bowel obstruction that required surgery. Then his kidneys shut down due to the obstruction and is now undergoing dialysis.
He also needs another surgery in the upcoming weeks.
Always loved the Flair post rumble 1992 win interview/promo.
Oh I also had no idea that his current fiancee was Fifi the maid from his 1993 (or 1994) WCW promos.

I think congress gave up on healthcare. The whole 'Kill Obamacare' was just to win the election. Honestly they could just take Obama's name off it, rename it 'MuricaCare and people would be thrilled.
I think they'll pick it up again next year, and honestly try to patch it up & legitimately fix what's going wrong with it. If they can't, it can then later be used as a 2018 mid-terms get out the vote bit.
Congress is unlikely to touch this again. They got too many angry town halls in RED states and districts. Republicans (smart ones anyway) don't want to be stuck with "I cast a vote that left X million people w/out healhcare" in the 2018 election cycle.
Plus there are divisons within the Party anyway. Some want a FULL REPEAL; others want to fix whatever issues that Obamacare has. It's just difficult to put together a bill that would satisfy all those groups.

Here's the part I don't get: if you know this is one of his (Undertaker) last matches why aren't you going with Cena-Undertaker instead? Cena is stuck doing a pointless mixed tag match.
And you know Reigns will get boooed out of the building when he wins.

I'm surprised they're getting their asses kicked to this extent.
I am too. ATL is dominating the LOS. They are running and passing at will on the Pats.

circa 2015. These guys are clowns.
Calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. are offensive and unconstitutional.

Yeah they are. Notice that the countries that aren't on the ban list, Trump has investments or financial dealings with all of them (UAE, Saudi Arabia etc..).
And there's this:

We typically need teams, so definitely check back in next year.
Congrats to Slashsfro. You denied me a repeat championship by knocking me off in the semis. Pretty impressive getting the top seed and winning the ship. Not easy to do. Tough luck with your Titans though. Thought they would win that sorry division they're in. Hope Mariota recovers quickly.
Thanks. The semis was a tough one that I had to sweat out (low scoring). Looks like your Pats have an easier road to the SB with all the injuries and just mediocre play (cough...Texans). Watch out for PIT or KC, those 2 are the biggest threats to NE. But Belicheck runs circles around those 2 coaches, especially Reid.
Titans weren't going to go that far if they made it anyway as their pass D is horrible. Mariota had surgery and looks like he'll recover.

Trump getting crushed in early voting in Nevada and will probably lose Nevada.
EARLY VOTING BLOG: Early voting kills Trump in NV
UPDATED, 11/5/16, 7 AM
Donald Trump will be in Reno on Saturday, but the Republicans almost certainly lost Nevada on Friday.
Trump's path was nearly impossible, as I have been telling you, before what happened in Clark County on Friday. But now he needs a Miracle in Vegas on Election Day -- and a Buffalo Bills Super Bowl championship is more likely -- to turn this around. The ripple effect down the ticket probably will cost the Republicans Harry Reid's Senate seat, two GOP House seats and control of the Legislature.
How devastating was it, epitomized by thousands of mostly Latino voters keeping Cardenas market open open in Vegas until 10 PM? This cataclysmic:
----The Democrats won Clark County by more than 11,000 votes Friday (final mail count not posted yet), a record margin on a record-setting turnout day of 57,000 voters. The Dems now have a firewall -- approaching 73,000 ballots -- greater than 2012 when Barack Obama won the state by nearly 7 points. The 71,000 of 2012 was slightly higher in percentage terms, but raw votes matter. The lead is 14 percentage points -- right at registration. You know what else matters? Registration advantages (142,000 in Clark). Reminder: When the Clark votes were counted from early/mail voting in 2012, Obama had a 69,000 vote lead in Clark County. Game over.
----The statewide lead (some rurals not posted) will be above 45,000 -- slightly under the 48,000 of 2012, but still robust. That's 6 percentage points, or right about at registration. The GOP turnout advantage was under a percent, worse than 2012 when it was 1.1 percent.
----The Dems eked out a 200-vote win in Washoe and lead there by 1,000 votes. It was even in 2012. The rural lead, before the stragglers come in, is 27,500. It probably will get above 28,000.
----Total turnout without those rurals: 768,000, or 52.5 percent. If overall turnout ends up being 80 percent, that means two thirds of the vote is in -- close to 2012. Republicans would have to not only win Election Day by close to double digits to turn around the lead Hillary Clinton almost surely has in early voting, but they would have to astronomically boost turnout. The goal for the Dems during early voting was to bank votes and to boost turnout as high as possible to minimize the number of votes left on Election Day to affect races. Folks, the Reid Machine went out with a bang.
As an exclamation point to a historic night in Nevada, in which Clinton essentially locked up the state and Hispanics, insulted all cycle by Trump, streamed into the market, here is what the final Cardenas numbers showed (tallied by an on-the-ground activist):
1,904 voted
1,258: Ds, 66%
165: Rs, 9%
481: NPs, 25%
So Cardenas was responsible for adding 1,000 to the Democratic lead.
Trump has almost no path to the presidency without Nevada. He can say whatever he wants in Reno on Saturday and boost rural turnout a lot, but he made his own bed when he announced his candidacy.
I'll dive deeper into the numbers later to show just how deep the wave could be Tuesday.

I still wouldn't count out one last Trump controversy, either. Someone leaks his taxes, that mythical "Apprentice" tape with him using the "n-word," a development in the child-rape lawsuit.
This just came out today. I have no idea how accurate it is:
