WWE.com is reporting that during a standard Wellness policy physical, an abnormal accessory pathway to the heart (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome) was discovered in US Heavyweight MVP. It is a potentially life threatening condition that could lead to a heart attack if untreated. He will be able to continue wrestling because according to WWE.com, MVP "underwent a precarious radio frequency treatment this past Monday – a procedure that is equally dangerous in that one in 1,000 individuals die during it. Next week, tests will be performed again to see if the procedure was a success."

WWE.com says that the testing took place at the Great American Bash. The body of the story is written to explain how The Wellness Policy caught this condition early. A cynic might say that mentioning the Bash and the benefits of the policy are a calculated move by WWE. A cynic may be right, but you also can't deny that the policy did what people want it to do either.

Won't that actually be the first time the wellness program actually WORKED? O_o

I have no idea who this dude is, but I wish him all the best! Hope he doesn't become part of just another statistic.

Yes the wellness programme may of saved MVP's life.Of course WWE is taking great pride in this to prove to congress and the US Media that it does care about its performers.

By the way MVP is actually become a good wrestler and his matches are a highlight of Smackdown recently.

I'm also glad they found it, but I dislike WWE's back-patting over it. I know they're desperate to make themselves look good any way they can right now, but it just comes across as overly smug.
