Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted September 2, 2015 Yep, Snuka has been charged with third-degree murder. I assume he will immediately stop taking all forms of cancer medication. The reverberations from this are the interesting ones though, Hulk Hogan saying a few racist words five years ago wiped 20% off WWE shareprices. If, as this seems to confirm, Vince McMahon did help cover up a murder during his rise to the top of pro-wrestling... this is going to get ugly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,964 Posted September 21, 2015 If it was "simply" a return of cancer, wouldn't he have a chance of beating it again and then wrestling again? So either they indeed told him it's terminal, like, for example, Martin Crowe's cancer recurrence, but then he didn't tweet that for some reason, or maybe he has some other health issue, maybe hepatitis? Or he had an incestine-related operation that simply makes it impossible to wrestle again, like, for example, getting a colostomy. I could also imagine that his post-cancer stomach is unable to digest "supplementary nutrition", protein shakes, steroids, or whatever. Edit: Ah, and the movie 'The Wrestler', with Mickey Rourke, didn't that guy wrestle until (possible) death? I can't recall his illness, but maybe Travis is in such a situation.

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted September 24, 2015 Totes forgot, the other day (22nd) marks 11 years since the Boss Man (aka Ray Traylor) died. Which was the original death reported in this thread. Nobody noticed it last year either........ Here, re-live the greatest WWF title match of all time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
