On 30/09/2024 at 21:18, Superstar said:I think Don Muraco or Sgt. Slaughter.
Don Muraco is suspiciously silent, I think his health is already on the decline.
Same goes for Sgt. Slaughter, his family has been publicly speaking to the press about his legacy, but they never mention why he became a recluse.
The other 3 (Santana, Ventura, and the Hammer) are generally in good hands, at least in my eyes. They don't seem to have any imminent illnesses, but I'd keep an eye out.
Jesse Ventura was recently signed to a WWE "Legends" contract and will have a role in the upcoming reboot of Saturday Night's Main Event, set for a December 2024 return.
