msc 17,712 Posted April 3, 2016 The 2016 Hall of Fame "Gorilla Monsoon award for showing up as a guest and looking like near death" winner was Kevin Von Erich. Doing his best Hurricane Higgins circa 2009 impression, he'll do very well to reach retirement age. He's 58 now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,269 Posted April 3, 2016 Hurricane Higgins 2009? No fucking way. Just more like... Dustin Lance Black a couple years after Tom Daley leaves him for a Belgian darts player that's all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,013 Posted April 7, 2016 Further to earlier upthread discussion about the oldest living professional wrestler, Joe D'Orazio, who was one of Mick McManus's tag partners back in the 50s, is still alive at 93. This forum post says he should be well enough to make a wrestling convention in August of this year, we'll see. Make it 4/6 he gets a Guardian obit when he goes.

msc 17,712 Posted April 13, 2016 ECW original, one half of the Chair Swingin' Freaks and general good guy to watch wrestle if you're 14-years-old, Axl Rotten is dead at 44. More of a surprise he lasted so long, to be honest. And in fact, that so few of the ECW mainstays have joined the choir invisible, given all those unprotected headshots and casual shared bleeding. Axl's tag partner, Balls Mahoney, dead too. He was a good guy to watch wrestle when you were 14 years old. Well, I say wrestle, I mean randomly come out to the ring and hit people in the head with chairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 17,712 Posted April 21, 2016 Was told by my wife. "How did you find out about a wrestling death before me?" I asked. "Oh, I follow Saraya Knight on twitter", she said.

drol 10,033 Posted April 21, 2016 Next is The Undertaker. He can't live for long because he's: 1)too tall 2)heavy 3)full of tattoos 4)he tooks steroids when he was younger 5)His streak is over so the company does not need him anymore 6)WWE then will sell little Undertaker graves, build Undertaker Towers, commercialize human parts of the Undertaker, exc. So he's next. His next opponent at Wrestlemania is death and this time he will lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
