    Damn, really? That sucks. Got any recent links? I know he was battling cancer for years now and lost a lot of weight. He was my favorite heel manager and comentator. Him and Monsoon were the best duo during the WWF years. I also enjoyed him on WCW. When he teamed up with Savoni and Dusty Rhodes. He was really a great guy in real life and donated & helped many charities.

    What strikes me is his age. 81 !!

    Now compare that to today's wrestlers that all seem to be dropping in their 40's.
    FEAR IS THE OLDEST TOOL OF POWER. IF WE ARE DISTRACTED BY THE FEAR OF THOSE AROUND US THEN IT KEEPS US FROM SEEING THE ACTIONS OF THOSE ABOVE US.

    I DIDN'T KILL NOBODY. I DIDN'T RAPE NOBODY. THAT'S IT. ~ Manny Ramirez commenting on his use of a banned substance.

    "All i care about is money and the city that I'm from, imma sip until I feel it, Imma smoke it till' it's done, I don't really give fuck and my excuse is that I'm young,and I'm only getting older, sombody shoulda told ya, I'm on one !"

    Most of the wrestlers that die in their 40's is because of all the drugs they've taken in their lives.

    Yeah, its a diffrent era of wrestlers. Drugs, steroids, and more days on the road. The style of prowrestling or "sports entertainment" has changed. Prowrestlers today, especially the ones who are employed with the WWE, go through a lot of physical and mental stress.

    The same way guys like Kowalski fared on the road 300+ days a year without being addicts.

    The notion that wrestlers just started to travel since 2000 is a fairytale. Ric Flair defended his World Title nearly 400 times the first year he was Champion...way back in 1981. And you didn't see him overdosing by 1990.

    kowalski could only dream to wrestle 300 days a year plus whatever else they had planned for you. in WWE's peak in the 80's they only wrestled on tv TWICE A MONTH. and only had house shows about three times a week at most. so how does someone who wrestled in the 40's and 50's wrestle 300 plus days a year unless he wrestled last year?

    P.S. most wrestlers before about 1987 had other jobs because wrestling didnt pay like it does now.
