MILFHunterGMan 22 Posted May 13, 2021 One to keep an eye on is Popular current WWE Star Bray Wyatt aka The Fiend. He's dealing with severe mental health issues stemming from the death of his late friend Brody Lee.

RIP Wee Jum 1,559 Posted May 14, 2021 Here is a recent tweet from Lex Luger in his wheelchair. Don't know if he uses it all the time as said by MSC a few posts up. He looks and replies to somebody saying his health is currently "excellent" https://twitter.com/GenuineLexLuger/status/1392897374201290752/photo/1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,520 Posted May 14, 2021 New Jack is unironically my favourite wrestler of all time and I am legitimately bummed out he died before I paid him to threaten me over Cameo. RIP Denzel's friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
