Former WWE Tag Team Champion Rico Costantino is reportedly seriously unwell according to his friend Kenny Bolin who posted a statement on Facebook revealing he has hardly spoken a word to anybody in nine months.

The former WWE Superstar is reported to have a diagnosed concussion, collapsed lung and severe heart problems. Bolin is trying to raise awareness of Costantino's health and hopes WWE will intervene.

You can read Kenny Bolin's full statement below:

"it saddens me to inform you that I have just found out that a Former WWE star and very dear friend of mine named Rico Costantino (Rico the Stylist) is very, very sick and has been since at least early January. He has no help financially at all, no disability help and none in sight. He has not spoke a word to hardly any one in like 9 months. he desperately needs our help. he also has severe diagnosed concussions, a collapsed lung and sever heart problems way to detailed to get in to here. I spoke to his X-wife and length last night and she is trying to take care of him as best she can. i am hoping we can set up a go fund me account to assist him as soon as his X can get me the banking info to have it sent too. i also hope the WWE and Vince Mcmahon, Stephanie McMahon or Hunter will chime in and help this great and very nice man who gave his life to helping others till here recently. Lets get the word out about Rico's illness to those who may be able to help him in this extreme time of need. as i get more info from his X Linda i will pass it on. i will be contacting a few of my former and current WWE stars to rattle some cages in hope of getting rico some financial help. his illness was not caused by drug abuse as in the case of many others who got help. and his severe concussions were acquired entertaining all of us over the years. Linda says he can say something in one hour, and totally forgot he said it 2 hours later. i do hope we can all band together and give just a little that may up in the end being a lot and a life saver for Rico. he needs our help. he deserves our help. those of us who loved him and were entertained by him. he is one year younger than me and looked 20 years younger. Linda says we would not recognize him now. please help me help him and rattle a few cages. thank you all very much. KB"

The fukk, concussion, heart, and lung issues all at once? How much gear was he on in his prime? I remember befor he got called up, dude was talked about as a prospect WWE champ for years to come. Then the brought him up as an ambiguously gay hair stylist. :russ:

Hope he gets better. Breh leaned into the hair stylist and the Adrian Street knock off gimmicks as hard as you possibly could.

So has he not talked in 9 months or is he talking 1 hour and forgetting it 2 hours later? :stopitslime:

These always feel like scams to me.

Also, a collapsed lung is pretty treatable. He should've been fine in 2 weeks max with a chest tube. Or if that didn't work, he would've had surgery (plureodesis) and he would be fine in a few months. If you don't treat a collapsed lung in time, it could be fatal so this seems sketchy to me.

WWE really played Rico like a clown when he was called up from ovw.

If their gimmick selection and treatment is any indication.
I doubt they help.

Agree. Something is not adding up
*The severe heart condition is usually diagnosed by a specialist.
*Most hospitals will direct you to agencies and other services to help you pay for medical bills.
*Law enforcement have health care benefits via their union.
*Unemployment allows one to get health care insurance via "ObamaCare"

VINTAGE WWE. Just like Eugene. Talked about him being an elite wrestler akin to Benoit, then brought him up as an overgrown special needs wrestler. Never fails.
