Your_Lion Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Damn, that's sad to hear. RIP I had his action figure when I was a kidhttp://www.lobsterbush.com/wwffigures/hasbro-uw1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Damn, that's sad to hear. RIP I had his action figure when I was a kidhttp://www.lobsterbush.com/wwffigures/hasbro-uw1.jpg I had that same figure to when I was a kid. Sad to hear about his passing since he was just inducted in to the WWE hall of fame on saturday and it looked he had finally mended fences with the company after almost 20 years of being an outcast from it. Strange that his death happened right after all that. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Feels surreal after just seeing him at the Hall of Fame ceremony, Wrestlemania, and Raw. :( RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Feels surreal after just seeing him at the Hall of Fame ceremony, Wrestlemania, and Raw. :( RIP. It does. Some people are saying they think he was ill and he knew he didn't have long left and that's why he buried the hatchet with the WWE. I don't believe it since the timing of everything just seems too perfect. I think his death was just one of those things that happened. Crazy that it happened once he got back into the spotlight though. Edited April 9, 2014 by J2112YYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 What did he die of? Reports seem to say a heart attack. He was walking out of a hotel with his wife and he clutched his chest and collapsed. He was pronounced dead once they got him to the hospital. I know a lot of wrestlers die young but it looks like this may have just been one of those sudden things that happens.

Rick N. Backer Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 He was pretty young (50s?), so it's hard not to think steroids played a role in this tragedy. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 He was pretty young (50s?), so it's hard not to think steroids played a role in this tragedy. RIP He did admit he used them in the past but the peak of his career was almost 25 years ago and he retired in 1998 and became a motivational speaker. So, I wouldn't jump to steroids causing this since it had probably been a couple decades since he last took any. Just because he was a pro wrestler doesn't mean he was shooting up until the day he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to be using a drug that dramatically changes your body chemistry until the day you die for the drug to have played a role in your death. He was in his early 50s and he had a heart attack. That's pretty unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
