I hate to say it, but at least we have a wrestler dying without suspicious circumstances. Still wayyy too young, and very sad, but at least an honorable way to die.

I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did. I thought for sure he was probably going to die last summer.

Good god, how old would that make him in his big program with Hogan? Like 26 or some shit?
I never realized he was that young.

An honorable way? Do you mean in the aspect that he was battling cancer?

I think he meant in the way that he didn't overdose on coke or have his heart explode.

It's a sad thought to think that when a wrestler dies who is clean, that's an honorable death in the wrestling world.

It's an honorable way to die, in the same way it would be if you died from cancer. There is nothing shameful about cancer, unlike drug overdoses...etc.

Wow, that's fucking rough.
Rest in peace.
