Scary moment going down at the #HouseofHardcore event in Philly right now as former WWE Star Big Cass collapses in the lobby. Doctor attending to him now.

Tommy Dreamer and Bubba Ray Dudley are by his side. He looks responsive. Scary stuff.

He's awake, eyes open, looks to be communicating. I'm staying far back to give everyone room, but it's a positive sign. Send your good vibes to Cass.

Ambulance has arrived. Cass still on his back, but again he looks responsive.

That was scary. It was intermission at the show, the lobby was packed with people checking out the merch tables. Cass went right down into his face. Fans immediately stepped back to give him room. Doc was called. Kind of chaotic. Dreamer was right by his side.

Interested. Dreamer addresses the crowd and says Cass "suffered a seizure," and makes a point of saying it's "not drug-related." pic.twitter.com/ikyj85KamQ
