[Breaking News] Christian Calaway Rushed to Hospital with Gunshot Wounds

LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway was rushed to the hospital only moments after LCW Showdown went off the air last night. Hospital officials told LegendsChampionshipWrestling.com that Calaway was immediately taken into surgery where doctors rushed to operate on the 25 year old founder of Legends Championship Wrestling to remove the bullets fired by The Iron Sheik, one in his shoulder, and one in his chest. Doctors operated and a press conference is expected to take place later today regarding his status.

Calaway, along with Baby Doll, were taken hostage, at gunpoint, by The Iron Sheik. Sheik, who was disgruntled after losing his job in a loser leaves LCW match to Jake "The Snake" Roberts at last Sunday's LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view, apparently blamed Calaway for the loss and told police after the incident that he had felt persecuted by the Chairman for months which forced the Iranian to focus his rage and anger on the Chairman of the Board.

Sheik took Calaway and Baby Doll hostage at the beginning of last night's episode of LCW Showdown, and despite efforts from Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie, the Iron Sheik's manager, Nikolai Volkoff, the Iron Sheik's former tag team partner, and others, it was LCW Commissioner Nick Bockwinkel's urging of the Sheik to release the cameraman who was also being held captive, that sparked the events that would lead to Calaway being shot. The cameraman tripped exiting the office which distracted Sheik and gave Baby Doll an opening to attempt to wrestle the gun away from Shiek. However, the gun accidentally went off twice and shot Calaway once in the shoulder and once in the chest.

The Iron Sheik is currently being held by police for further questioning as is Baby Doll who was not injured in the incident.
