FinalChapter 71 Posted March 26, 2023 Honky Tonk Man has been struggling with his health following a particularly nasty “off and on” fight with COVID, according to Kevin Nash on his latest podcast. Doesn’t sound like he’s bedridden or anything (Nash brought this up in an anecdote about running into HTM in a bar recently) but worth keeping an eye on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,350 Posted March 27, 2023 Didn't know whether to put this here, Detective Work or Fringes of Fame, but..... Some may be familiar with the late 70s proto-reality TV show The Big Time, in which current deadpooler short-lister Esther Rantzer sent Joe Public out to do the jobs of celebrities. It gave Sheena Easton her big break, most famously. Those with an interest in British wrestling history would best remember it as the show where a teacher by the name of Keith Rawlinson was "trained" as a professional wrestler, except nobody told him it was fake and the wrestlers proceeded to beat the living piss out of him for 12 weeks or so until he was hospitalised. What a prank. Anyway, I've managed to find Mr Rawlinson online, in a Facebook post from The Bible Society talking about how seven years ago he was diagnosed with cancer but his faith helped send it into remission. Looking a bit Keith Barron as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,230 Posted March 29, 2023 Now I'm generally of the view that folk who have to tell you how much sex they're having really aren't shagging much at all. That said, here's the latest from the world of Marty Jannetty where he rants about his girlfriend being upset by his number of girlfriends only to be distracted and start a tribute to the much missed Curt Hennig. Quote "And not for nothing but, last night I was given an ultimatum from one of my ladies I actually want to keep..won't mention the name because then that chicken head fighting starts..but she said that she'd go against her standards, if I cut my girls down to just 3, she'll stick around..I actually thought about it, which ones to cut loose, then realized, hell naw, I didnt ask her to cut back, its a help to me that she has 2 other guys..so I said, "wherever you're leaving to, do you need a ride?"..lol..she hung up and hasnt called back yet..lol..she'll be back..GAURANTEED! As Curt Henning AKA Mr Perfect use to say, "no brags, just facts" lol..loves n misses ya Curt, RIP!" Drugs are one hell of a drug. I do like Fightful saying at least he didn't try and confess to murder this time he was high. Almost tempted to add him to my DDP team because he won't see 68. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't notice much of a difference with Lawler to how he seems to be normally - although this is mostly from watching extemporaneous material from A&E with him in it, I don't tend to watch WWE. Seems to be doing extremely well for someone who recently had a stroke. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hart clearly has a hairpiece and spraytan, possibly dentures, and I bet if you took those sunglasses off he’d look like the Crypt Keeper, but energy-wise he hasn’t lost a step. I think he’s gonna be one of those guys that suddenly ages 4 decades at once when it’s finally time for him to go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,350 Posted April 11, 2023 As I'm not running any pools next year (I've earned the rest I feel, plus it'll give me more free time to be really bad at Slay the Spire), I might run a Crowdsourced Wrestler Deathlist.

MILFHunterGMan 22 Posted April 22, 2023 While i don't want to speculate. I believe the "Health Issue" Bray Wyatt has that's put him on hiatus with no word on when or if he'll be back could be heart related or possibly another serious disease. No news is actually bad news. As we saw with Keith Lee & unfortunately saw with Brodie Lee, The latter of whom we didn't hear an update until it was too late & he passed. Hopefully it's nothing serious, But it's still something to keep an eye on. It would be one of wrestling most shocking deaths of all time 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
