Ulitzer95 12,576 Posted December 2, 2020 Death of Patterson leaves just two people who were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame during the 1990s. Ivan Putski and Johnny Rodz. Both turning 80 next year! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,437 Posted December 11, 2020 I bet you're all thinking - man, I haven't heard much on dementia this week. So to compensate, a pre-DDP reminder of some big names suffering from the ailment. Yeah its not a sport but its contact theatre and the injuries (and consequences) are much the same, and in the last few months alone Pat Patterson and Mark Rocco have died with it. Paul Orndorff - beat cancer twice, now suffers from severe dementia and likely CTE. Dave Hebner - got diagnosed before 2014, got the "gravely ill" podcast talk about 2-3 years ago, stunned he's still going. Ahmed Johnson - allegedly Heidenreich - combines early onset memory loss with congestive heart failure. Of the 42 wrestlers who claimed critical health issues and "early signs" of dementia onset in that lawsuit, 12 have died since 2016. Along with the above, the remaining are: Earl Hebner - suffering "cognitive difficulties" and memory loss so likely following his twin above. Ken Patera - has the constant headaches of post-concussion syndrome. Sabu - "The Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal, Death–Defying Maniac" has the least surprisingly "extensive neurological issues" in history. Barry "Smash/Repo Man" Darsow - "severe loss of memory" Bill "Ax" Eadie - severe memory loss, headaches, did have heart issues at one point. Berzerker (John Nord) - dying of ALS Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli - severe memory loss, headaches, took a lot of stupid shots to the head. Mike Enos Butch Reed Jazz Slyvain Grenier - severe memory loss but was still one of the main carers for Pat Patterson... Muhammed Hassan Shane Douglas Henry Godwinn Judy Martin Mark Jindrak The Warlord Marty fn Jannetty - allegedly unaware of his surroundings (unless confessing to murder, rape or wanting to shag his foster daughter), regular blackouts, self-medicates Mantaur Black Bart - meant to be on his way out since 2015 though Slick The One Man Gang Jimmy Jack Funk Boris Zhukov Rodney Mack Angelo Mosca also has dementia, as does Danny Hodge. Vampiro claims he has Alzheimer's but take anything he says with a lorry of salt. World of Sport's Jim Breaks was too demented to stand trial for murder. Mick Foley has had extreme memory loss since 1999 and his having likely CTE is an open secret, sadly. As with other areas of the world, this has expanded considerably within the last few years.
