arghton 6,124 Posted September 28, 2023 Interviews from Hamilton Comic Con a week ago: Abdullah the Butcher: Looks like he usually does, sounds frail but I'm suprised he's still mentally still there. Tony Atlas: Sounds a bit frail, but judging on how he looks I think he won't go during the next 5 years. Hacksaw Jim Duggan: Looks and sounds absolutely amazing for a 69-year-old former wrestler with a plethora of health issues. But also considering his health issues he could drop dead in months. On Manu, I'm suprised both the Wild Samoans (Afa Anoa'i the senior who is Manu's father and Sika Anoa'i) are still alive. 80 and 78. Impressive longevity for wrestlers, both have outlived one of their children and both over eight years above the life expectancy of the average Samoan. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
