Attended a screening of a documentary on him some years ago. Spent most of his career in Mexico. The doc showed the fanaticism of Lucha Libre in Mexico and the dangers he faced working there.

He knew John QUinn and his family. He said they were all big guys, but John QUinn was a qualified meterologist...it didn't gel with his "in-ring" persona. Surely one of the few men to draw sellout crowds on top against both Bruno Sammartino and Big Daddy? Anyway, John Quinn is dead at 78. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,537 Posted May 17, 2019 On 08/03/2017 at 10:21, msc said: Going through that court document in greater detail - I posted skimmed over details a few weeks/months back. Since it was posted in 2015, 5 of the 50 wrestlers named on it have died: Jimmy Snuka, Chavo Sr, Axl Rotten, Ron Bass and Timothy Well. Here are the main issues they were said to be facing: 1. Jimmy Snuka – neurological problems, dizziness, headaches, depression, mood swings, loss of memory, confusion, post-concussion syndrome 2. Chavo Guerrero sr – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue 3. Axl Rotten – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory 4. Ron Bass – neurological, headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, sleeping problems, fatigue 5. Timothy Well – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, suicidal, fatigue With that in mind, I had a scan for similar issues among the living 45, or multiple of the above issues, which brought up 36! So here are the main folk in that case, with their health issues as claimed. 5 in a year, so it's likely that around 15 of this list will die in the next three years on that form. I've asterisked those who will get DDP obits with no worry. The lawsuit will fail (there's too many discrepancies in it, plus it relies on Vince McMahon knowing all about concussions in the 1970s and 80s when no one else did, and hiding the information from the world) but most of these people are probably fucked. 1. *Road Warrior Animal – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue 2. *Paul Orndorff – confusion, headaches, dizziness, severe loss of memory, fatigue, easily confused, repeats himself constantly, paranoid (yeah, hes got CTE) EDIT - since confirmed. 3. Ahmed Johnson – headaches, severe loss of memory, under care of a neurologist 4. *Kamala – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue, plus depressed and legless 5. Earl Hebner – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue, neurological injuries and cognitive difficulties 6. Dave Hebner – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue, dementia, Parkinsons 7. *King Kong Bundy – neurological issues, cognitive difficulties, headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, nerve issues 8. Ken Patera – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue 9. *Sabu – Severe neurological injuries, headaches, loss of memory 10. Barry Darsow – constant headaches, severe loss of memory 11. Bill Eadie – Headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue 12. *The Berzerker – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue 13. Johnny the Bull – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue 14. Mike Enos – dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue 15. Butch Reed – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, insomnia, fatigue 16. Jazz – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory 17. Slyvain Grenier – severe migraines, loss of sensation in right arm, dizziness, loss of memory 18. Don Leo Jonathan – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory (which might be to do with being 86!) 19. Shane Douglas – neurological issues, headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue 20. *Mohammed Hassan – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue 21. Henry Godwinn – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue 22. Judy Martin – headaches, loss of memory, 23. Mark Jindrak – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue 24. *Marty Jannetty – black outs, unaware of surroundings, headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue, no health insurance 25. Heidenreich – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue, suicidal, congestive heart failure, confined to bed, no health insurance 26. The Warlord – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue 27. The Barbarian – headaches, dizziness, loss of consciousness, loss of memory, fatigue 28. Rip Oliver – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, insomnia, fatigue, Alzheimer’s 29. Tracy Smothers – headaches, dizziness, acute short term loss of memory 30. Mantaur – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue, painkiller addiction, no feeling in arms or fingers 31. Black Bart – headaches, dizziness, severe loss of memory, involuntary movement, heart problems 32. *Slick – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, insomnia, diabetes 33. *One Man Gang – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue, neck and back injuries 34. Jimmy Jack Funk – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue 35. Rodney Mack – headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, fatigue 36. Boris Zhukov – migraines, insomnia, hearing loss, dizziness, loss of memory, works as a truck driver (well, that’s reassuring to know) My bad as I completely ignored Massaro on this list. Quote Additionally, Massaro suffered from numerous untreated head injuries, and currently suffers from CTE symptoms, including but not limited to depression, for which she takes medication; migraine headaches; and severe short-term memory loss. 8 down in 3 years. I thoroughly recommend this sad list to deadpoolers, and promptly suggest Mr Wonderful Paul Orndorff, Jon Heidenreich and Ahmed Johnson as worthy DDP picks. More so than Year 1 ALS folk.

the_engineer 1,415 Posted May 17, 2019 Cancelled my subscription to wwe network months ago. Saving money yes but mainly out of principle. Getting into the wrestling business is a mugs game. Throwing you body to the ground 100s of times a week for a shit salary and having to pay for you own travel and hotels lol what type of carnival scam is this? Ok big stars don't but they don't really need that because they're recieving millions already.WWE only spends 8% to 9% of their entire revenue of stars salaries and that includes the mcmahons and HHH on screen salaries. Many of those stars that never make it or used for a few years then shat out of the wwe machine are left messed up. Painkiller addictions from the permanent damage done to their bodies,brains and mind. They get no healthcare and the wwe enslaves their talent who want out of contracts.They're human circus animals. Wrestling a full time schedule for a year is like going through 100s of car crashes for 200k a year ?minus tax,hotels and travel left with less than 40 grand for 300+ days hard hard work. Hope the uproar of jeremy kyle / reality TV will make its way to WWE. Many many dead wrestlers under 50 even under 40. Now they're receiving massive amounts of blood money from saudi arabia instead of pissing it down the XFL toilet how about paying wrestlers health insurance, doubling all the poorly paid wrestlers wages and giving them an off season/ or wrestlers a period of recovery. The WWE has enough wrestlers to rotate one week on / off etc. Fuck the mcmahons the greedy cunts they have blood on their hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,537 Posted July 1, 2019 We don't tend to get birthdays noted in here, because folk die before they become notable. However the craziest man on the planet and greatest pro-wrestler of all time (imo), Terry Funk, is now 75! Despite still wrestling in his 70s, despite the time he was accidentally set on fire, despite the time a bomb destroyed the ring he was wrestling in, despite suddenly deciding to try moonsaults (backwards 360 degree leaps) at the age of 55, despite being one of the best technical wrestlers of the 70s and deciding he could do 90s deathmatches better than all the kids, and despite all the talk of poor health in the last few years. Will hopefully be a while yet before we're picking up deadpool points off The Funker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,537 Posted July 1, 2019 On another note, that Viceland Dark Side of the Ring series interviewed Abdullah the Butcher. The walker to get about was known about, but the gasping for air between sentences points him close to the final 3 count. Somehow, he has made it to 78.
