As the game went on, he began to feel lightheaded and sick. He passed out for around 10 seconds while still in the middle of a fight.

Moreover, he described how he passed out for the second time. He mentioned when the guitar came, at that moment, he was unconscious again and went completely black.

He stated, “It was all about dehydration. I had two doctors in there right away with me and everything and The Undertaker came running in. I had like six beers there. He took them out of my hand and said, ‘You’re drinking two Gatorades first.’ So I drank two and that was all it was. I underestimated the importance of keeping hydrated. [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]

Given his advanced age and prior health problems, it was difficult for him to take the physical toll that comes with professional wrestling. Thus, things could have gone wrong. Fortunately, he managed to win the match without any further issues.
