Collapse During Match
At the Enjoy Five-Year Anniversary event on September 5, The Butcher, whose real name is Andy Williams, collapsed at the end of his match and required medical attention. Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp confirmed the story. According to those in attendance, paramedics performed chest compressions and used a defibrillator before he was taken away in an ambulance.[S1]
Attendees observed the bout unfolding typically until Butcher's knees gave way, sending him to the mat. His partner, The Blade, called for assistance and attempted to lift him, yet Butcher collapsed once more and passed out. Bystanders applied ice to him before emergency personnel arrived.[S1]
Promotion's Response
Enjoy Wrestling released a statement saying that Andy collapsed at the end of his match that evening. Their on-staff doctors attended to him immediately, administering CPR until the ambulance arrived. The promotion sent everyone home and was at the hospital awaiting more information, thanking all who helped and reached out.[S1]
The remainder of the show was canceled following the incident. Fightful indicated it would continue to update fans on the story and expressed well-wishes for Butcher at that time.[S1]
