RIP, brother.

 

[UKserialkiller]

Knew a dude from high school. He just died in august at age 40 due to early steroid use.

Bet Hulk dies in 5 years when his heart gives out while pile driving some strippers ***.

 

[UK_Dallas]

I don't recall hearing that he was charged a couple of years ago with his girlfriends death 32 years ago. Didn't go to trial last year because of dementia.

Saw him on an airplane flight once
I was surprised at how small he was

Sort of like that actor, Danny Trejo. Camera angles make him look huge but he is really short.

R-Truth is gonna be pissed.

 

[12 Oz. Epilogue]

Who cares about jimmysnuka?

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

Eff you, 2017!!!

 

[Lexie's Dad]

All because Roddy Piper hit him with a coconut.

His girlfriend did until he killed her.

You did your best to make short fat girls feel super fly. RIP

That's what happens when you quit the roids.

There's prolly a lot of people who care.

I'd hit it, just once for old times sake
What about you, Willie?

He was still wrestling then
Saw Brock Lesner up close once
He's short also, maybe 6'

Willy had already hit it six times before rigor mortis set in.

Brock is 6'3. You wanna see a short wrestler, Chris Jericho. I'm 6'2, and the first time I worked a show that Jericho was at, I was shocked how much taller I was than him. He's billed at 6' even, but that dude is more about 5'10 or 5'9.

 

[funKYcat75]

Owen Hart is probably the shortest wrestler.

Willy had already hit it six times before rigor mortis set in.

And then once more after.......

 

[herodotus6]

Owen Hart is probably the shortest wrestler.

Nah, he stretched his neck on a turnbuckle.

Saw Stephen Young beat Lesner in the NCAA wrestling championships at Penn State when lesner was a junior at Minnesota and saw Lesner win it the next year in StLouis. Lesner was at a disadvantage against Young. Young is 6'6"
Was at a WWF event in Lexington once. Andre the Giant was there. So big he didn't look human.

oh hell yeah

You and me both, Herod.

An OG strongman. RIP.

[laughing][laughing][laughing] 30 years ago I was thinking, "Damn, Super Fly looks like Khadafi."

 

[Nuke99m.]

Can't believe no one has posted the video.

I worked my way through college doing security for concerts and wrestling and such. I'm 6'7" and the show promoters refused to let me walk out the wrestlers because of the size difference.

Could have just done what they do with Tom Phillips, since he's taller than the majority of wrestlers.

Tomspiracy probably needs its own thread but:

 

[Glenn's Take]

The very first night I ever had cable in my life was on this night. USA Network used to show the monthly card from MSG. If you don't feel like watching the whole thing just go to the end and watch him jump off the top of the steel cage. Talk about great timing to get cable.

Thanks for your take, Glen.

Tomspiracy probably needs its own thread but:

I think they do that for Arnold Schwarzenegger when he is around taller people. He is listed at 6'2, but seems shorter than that. Seeing some of his older movies you would think he is like 6'4 or 6'5 because of how imposing he was, but he doesn't even look 6' to me seeing him now. Maybe he shrunk with age.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

always wondered if that coconut was gimmicked or not. First time I ever tried to get into a coconut I was working at a grocery store in high school and on break I bought one, took it in the back and beat it with a mallet. Nothing. Tried cutting it. Nothing. Finally after a 2-3 minutes of trying I finally popped a hole in it with a power drill.

Can't imagine how ****ing hard you gotta hit someone in the head for it to bust the way that one did on Snuka.

Part of me thinks the coconut was doctored to break easily. Another part of me thinks, "But Piper," and I go the other way.
