"I went to get what's called a calcium scan, which I'd never had before, because a couple of guys died in our business of heart issues so it kind of scared me. They give you the nuclear stress test, shoot you with the dye, put you on the treadmill, everything. It's two days of three hours of tests. This is six months ago. The guy takes me in, and if you look at your heart like a round pie, there's a piece of my heart right here this big, it's black, it's gone. The guy said, 'You've had a heart attack in the last two years.' He said, 'Have you passed out in the last two years?' And during my last match, I passed out three times. And I thought it was because I was dehydrated. So I went in the locker room with Kid Rock and Taker, I just drank two bottles of gatorade and went back out to Kid Rock's place all night long. But I had a heart attack."
