msc 18,442 Posted July 16, 2019 On 13/04/2019 at 16:30, msc said: Former WWF wrestler The Berzerker arrested for DUI and public endangerment. One of those names I expect to show up at any time as DOA in this thread tbh. It was his 7th DUI, but let off jail as John Nord (The Berzerker) is now in assisted living and a wheelchair due to ALS. Quote Nord, 59, wrestled under the name the "Nord the Barbarian" in the heyday of Twin Cities wrestling. In recent years, he has become a frequent abuser of painkillers to cope with the damage to his body and brain. He now uses a wheelchair and has ALS. The prosecutor on his case argued that Quam should send Nord to prison for more than four years because he represents a significant public safety threat as he has continued to drive. Nord and his defense attorney, however, said he is in treatment and will be in assisted-living facilities for the rest of his life. Quam said the sentencing decision was difficult. "Life has handed you a lot of special things," he told Nord. "On the other hand, it's taken away a lot of what makes you you." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somewhat end of the line chat though... Quote Due to privacy concerns, no specific information will be given out about his current health status or anything of the sort. All that can and will be said is that Harley Race was, is, and will always be a fighter. He doesn't know anything else and he hasn't thrown in the towel and he has promised that as long as it is up to him, that won't be an option. Flair probably right again, like the time he dobbed Blackjack Mulligans health to deadpoolers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Think he’s still ticking partly because he never succumbed to the Superstar Billy Graham/Hogan vitamin regime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,442 Posted August 19, 2019 Spade Cooleys favourite band of renegades met up at the weekend: Left to right - Bobby Eaton, Dennis Condrey, Jim Cornette, Randy Rose, Stan Lane. Or both of the classic Midnight Expresses. Bobby Eaton looks better than he has in a long time. Condrey, however, has struggled with throat cancer in recent years and is sporting the "I'll be dead in 2 years" look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It makes me question how much he is in the chair, as a full-time user would definitely have a better setup. This might suggest he is still able to walk around in his home environment, which would bode well for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dean1991 116 Posted September 15, 2019 About time a wrestler was included onto the list. Has one ever appeared before? We've lost a lot of stars from the 80's these past few years, so I'm suprised the committee haven't taken a punt on an early wwf era name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
