Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted November 30, 2021 Wonder if it might be because he's been told to come off the roids after his heart attack, and as such he now looks like someone trying to fill in a sausage on the Generation Game? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,576 Posted November 30, 2021 Whilst I suspect that steroids may be part of the problem, they're claiming it's a genetic cardiac issue in his family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am convinced Thatcher has access to the newswires and sees confirmation of deaths as soon as they reported on them (and for some deaths that is shortly before any tweets or orbits are posted..)

Hah, he is very quick on the upload. It was more the timing that Meltzer announced 25 mins earlier, and then, suddenly, just as I went to press "submit reply": "New post by Thatcher". The timing was almost psychic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,436 Posted December 9, 2021 One to keep an eye on, alas. After nearly a decade of sobriety, Jeff Hardy has relapsed badly, had a weird in ring incident during a show recently, and has now been fired by WWE for refusing to go to rehab. Given his addictions nearly killed him in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,436 Posted December 10, 2021 Chris Jericho hospitalised in Swansea for a sudden "non-covid, treatable health condition" during his Fozzy tour. Now he's in his middle aged spread and still trying to go like he was in his 20s, one to keep a loose eye on.

msc 18,436 Posted December 10, 2021 Just now, YoungWillz said: Jeff Hardy's news has reached the pages of the BBC. Interesting that he could obit there. I think, where anything to happen, he'd get a front page spot ala Dusty Rhodes or Roddy Piper or when Ric Flair was ill. He's easily one of the most popular stars this century, especially with kids, and also a former WWE Champ to boot. The timing of this is uncanny too - reports Jeff might be the Rumble opponent for Roman Reigns, Freddie Prinze Jr bringing up that HHH (still recovery from his own HA) had been against Jeff's main event push as he was "utterly unreliable" then a few days later - relapse. Hopefully he'll recover though - he has two young kids and had done well to go nearly a decade sober. The fact that the last main eventer to be fired for refusing rehab wound up dead six months later isn't a great precedent, however. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadMac 98 Posted December 23, 2021 It’s been reported that Corporal Kirchner of 1980s WWF has failed to answer the bell. Some readers may recall that WWE announced his death in 2006 until his mother pointed out the error of their ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted December 27, 2021 Looks like either a) there's a COVID outbreak among the WWE roster or b) they're panicking about there being a COVID outbreak and are locking half the roster away to prevent future PPVs being screwed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
