OT: Any WWE fans on here?

[remington69]

Who was the guy that ended up in a wheelchair? He had a neck injury or something like that and wound up paralyzed. He was writing a column for the WWE (he still might, I don't know). I can see him right in front of my face but I can't remember his name. He was a big guy, the one who used to puke all the time.

That was Droz. Very tragic situation. D-Lo slipped on something a fan threw into the ring while trying to do a running powerbomb and dropped Droz.

The autopsy results are in. He died of heart failure due to a weakened heart and heart disease.

I'm glad that his death wasn't wrestling or drug related though. Still, such a shame.

Hillbilly Jim is alive and well. He's actually in charge of the WWE home video dept.

Does he still wear the same clothes?

Does Sgt. Slaughter still work for the WWE? I thought it was funny when he came out and jobbed to Kurt Angle. I haven't watched that shit in years, thankfully.

Aren't there a ton of Von Erichs who died early?

Yeah, that whole family was cursed.

Didn't Big John Stud die also?

A long time ago.

His steriod and substance use could have affected his heart though.

True. I just meant I'm glad that he didn't start doing it again to the point wherehe overdosed or something.
