Candice Michelle Chokes on Water As She's Carried Out of WWE Show on Stretcher

Earlier today WWE's Candice Michelle suffering a fall off the top rope that resulted in a broken collarbone and could have been much worse. Now take a look at this video of the aftermath:Michelle is being carried off on a stretcher, and when she indicates that she's thirsty, someone just sort of dumps water on her face, causing her to start choking, and then she sits up.

What is going on here? Why doesn't the WWE have a medical professional on hand -- or even just someone with common sense -- who understands that when you're on a stretcher, you're probably not in a good position to have a swig of water?

The most common criticism of the WWE -- that it doesn't do enough to take care of its wrestlers -- is only going to get worse with this incident.

The video was taken down but for those interested, I'm sure you can find it somewhere online. As for the water, I don't think it's much of a story...well besides Stephanie McMahon overstepping her boundaries as it appeared.

However, it was a sick fall. Candice was on the top rope and her opponent, Beth Phoenix hit them (usually the person on the rope would crotch themself or fall off and take a bump into the ring) and Candice dove into the ring. She must have slipped or something because she landed on her head and shoulder area. The place went silent as she was pretty much knocked out. The ref immediately told them to end the match and they went to the finish. The doctors and paremedics came out to help her and get her to the hospital.

The former Playboy cover girl is expected to be out about 6-8 weeks.

I watched it on Monday, and from what I can see, she was supposed to fall off the ropes, but she caught her ankle on the top rope and came down awkwardly. It was one of those things where, if you've seen enough wrestling, you immediately knew the move had been botched and that she was legitimately hurt. It's a shame that the other video had been removed - I would've been interested to see what all the hubbub was about.
