RIP to the Bad Guy.

My Playhouse
Years ago I used to play WCW on my original Playstation.

I didn't watch WCW, only WWE, so my only knowledge of the guy was he dressed like a thug with a toothpick always in his mouth in the game.

Hated him just based on appearance (again, 6 year old kid seeing that guy is intimidating) but now appreciate his work. I still hear the WCW music on that game when I see his face.

Not exactly sure.
If any good can come out of these early departures like Razor, macho man, and such; it is the harmful effects of the stuff they pump into their bodies. It is very hard on them, is it worth it? Unfortunately, I think many believe it is.

Hall had become one of pro wrestling better stories like Jake the Snake had changed his life for the better through help of DDP.

Last I saw, this wasn't connected to that. Hall had clotting after a hip replacement.

The thing that’s always struck me about Hall is how he looked when he was a young guy in Verne Gagne wrestling and the look that was developed for the Razor Ramon character.

You’d never believe it was the same guy.

He was 6'7 which amazed me but I just remember him standing next to Kevin Nash who dwarfed him.

There's a very long list of wrestlers who've died young. Andre didn't make it to 50. I know he died young, but I didn't realize it was that young.

Regal even said last week on AEW that he's 52 but he knows he's not long for this world.

Also this week in wrestling you had Big E land on his head after a botch by Ridge Holland. Big E suffered a broken neck but does have feeling in all his extremities.

I feel like those late 90s era wrestlers performed literally every week and the story lines spanned so many shows. I can only imagine how tough that is on the body.

Check out Ric Flair's schedule when he was champion. He would wrestle 7 days a week with double shots on the weekend. Sometimes going an hour Broadway.

Throw in broads and booze..... I'm pretty sure Flair is a robot.
