And yet ANOTHER dead wrestler (take a second to guess who it might be)

[Mystery_Meat]

And the winner is: Brian Adams, formerly Crush in the WWE and WCW. Died today at 43, according to Meltzer. No other details available, except it's not THAT guy.

Should there be a RUNNING DEAD WRESTLER THREAD?

 

[Eagles1 in London]

i didn't know who this was so I googled him and found his Wikipedia page--one question--who the hell updates a guy like Brian Adam's page so fast?

 

[imjustagirl2]

One guess, and he started this thread.

 

[Captain_Kirk]

yeah, but what do you do first? Do you update Wikipedia and run the risk of someone else starting a thread (on another board, perhaps, strictly as an example), or do you start the thread and then vamanos to Wikipedia post-haste? Quite the conundrum.

 

[Mystery_Meat]

One guess, and he started this thread.

Not I. The Wikipedos move quick. Sometimes TOO quick (Benoit).

 

[Claws for Concern]

Wonder if it's a guy in Stamford, CT, who isn't affiliated with WWE.

 

[Trouser_Buddah]

I forgot that he was the dreadful "Demon" in the WCW...BRILLIANT!

 

[Claws for Concern]

Dale Torborg, the son of former major league manager Jeff Torborg, was the Demon in WCW. Adams must have done a cameo with it at some point, too.

From what I remember, Adams did a biker gimmick in WCW and later as one of the Disciples of Apocolypse in the WW(F)E. He was a guy who was jacked up as well. I'd guess this is definitely one of the road-related deaths.

I think I liked it better when wrestling was fake.

Never could figure out why the WWF couldn't leave well enough alone with Ax and Smash. Almost as bad as when they decided to create faux Funk brothers (Jimmy Jack and Hoss)

Ax had a heart problem, which is pretty much why he served in a managerial role after Crush joined up. Demolition was way too popular to just fade away at that time.

Did not know that. I do know that the Demolition theme music sucked (as did most WWF theme music, except for Legion of Doom)

What ever happened to Hawk and Animal?

One lives in Minneapolis, and his son plays football for Ohio State.

Sad that I know what music you are talking about ...
Sadder I've had it running through my head the last 10 minutes ...

Here comes the Ax ...
Here comes the Smasher ...
The Demolition ...
Walking disaster ...

And the other one's dead, right?

 

[Gutter]

Right, Hawk died a few years ago.
