I remember when they introduced this guy. He was supposed to be some random audience member they picked to fight one day. A month later I was like "Damn, he's gonna be an actual wrestler?"

Bladder cancer...as if having to team up with THE SHOCKMASTER wasn't bad enough for the poor guy.

i thought they pulled him out of the audience for the Ultimate Warrior to do pushups with him on his back


or am i remembering something else?

6/7/2006 11:58:05 PM

is it just me, or do pro wrestlers seem to have fairly short lifespans on average

Not all, but a lot of them do. So many of those guys get hooked on pain killers from all the years in the ring and their hearts can't take it. They end up being found dead in their hotel rooms.

Then, you get stuff like car wrecks (Junkyard Dog), ring deaths (Owen Hart) and weird deaths (Eleizabeth) and you get a lot of wrestler deaths making headlines.

is the death for real? or is it fake like wrestling?

6/8/2006 2:50:45 PM

RIP Earthquake...
he's had health troubles for years...
i wonder if his interviews are still up on wrestlecrap.com
