    Former Tough Enough champion Matt Cappotelli has suffered yet another unfortunate setback and it could possibly put an end to his wrestling career. Doctors have recently diagnosed Matt Cappotelli with a brain tumor. He is scheduled to undergo tests in Ohio to further diagnose the tumor and to plan a treatment.

    This couldn't have come at a worse time as Cappotelli was on the brink of finally being called up to the main WWE roster this week to shoot some vignettes for a planned WWE debut. Cappotelli was close to being called up in the summer of 2003, but it was nixed at the last minute. He then suffered a concussion in a match against Hardcore Holly in April of 2004 at a Smackdown house show. Cappotelli also suffered a broken leg at an OVW TV taping this past August. He had been teaming up with Mike Mizanin in several dark matches and WWE house shows during that time.

    This is really unfortunate news. The fact that this happened when he was on the verge of being called up is sad, especially considering his previous setbacks.
    I hope he gets through this okay and wish the best for him.

    Holy s**t, thats terrible! I hope they've caught it in time and hes OK. My god, such a young guy too (hes just turned 26)! It will be a real shame if this ends his career, as he clearly has a lot of talent and has been so unfortunate with injuries and still persisited. Just as he was about to live the dream and make the WWE - shocking stuff.

    John from the same season of tough enough is now living it up in MNM whereas I always thought Matt would be been pushed harder than John. Best of luck on the recovery Matt.

    Hopefully he'll be OK. I think wrestling is of secondary importance right now for Matt.

    He's like the Keith O'Neill of wrestling. Poor guy. Anytime I saw him he never seemed too bad. Had a decent first match in WWE against Johnny Nitro too. Hope he makes it through this alright
