Andy Williams — better known to wrestling fans as The Butcher — was rushed away in an ambulance Saturday night after collapsing at an independent wrestling show in the Pittsburgh area.
The scary incident happened during Enjoy Wrestling’s Five Years event at Mr. Smalls Theatre in Millvale, Pennsylvania. Williams collapsed at the show and required medical attention. People who were inside the building later said Williams was taken out by ambulance and that the rest of the show was called off. One attendee said medical personnel were working on him as the area around the ring was cleared.
The exact cause of the collapse has not been made public, and there has been no official update on Williams’ condition as of this writing. That means anything beyond the fact that he collapsed, received medical attention and was taken away by ambulance would be speculation. The situation was serious enough that Enjoy Wrestling stopped the show before the card could be completed, according to people who were there.
Williams had been advertised for the event alongside his longtime tag team partner The Blade. The card also included Lee Moriarty, The Amazing Red, Effy, Sonny Kiss and Dark Sheik.
Williams has spent years splitting his time between professional wrestling and music, becoming best known in wrestling as one half of The Butcher and The Blade. For now, the only thing that matters is getting a positive update on Williams after a frightening scene that brought the entire show to a halt.
