Wrestling fans - Curt Hennig aka "Mr Perfect" found dead (Update Cause of Death revealed)

[Shlong]

I used to love his skits where he would bowl 300 games and hit a hole-in-one, sad news.

His best friend was Rick "The Body" Rude.

Rick doesn't wrestle anymore due to roids. It messed up his back really bad.

Mr Perfect was a well-known roid offender.

Abuse of roids eventually catches up with ya. Hulk Hogan's and Schwarzeneggars legendary abuse of the stuff have landed them on the operating table as of late.

Mr. Perfect was expecting a call-back from the WWE about another possible return later in the year.

This is very shocking. He never looked that big or muscular to me.

Rick Rude died about 3 years ago.

Ravishing Rick Rude was awesome.

Ravishing Rick Rude is dead as well from roids. I believe this to be true....

Why is everyone so quick to assume it was steroid use that led to Curt's death? Get the facts first before making assumptions for God's sakes.

RIP Curt.

I'm suprised Chris Benoit isn't dead from steroid abuse. He was dealing steroids back in the mid 80's when I was in High school. Back in the Stampede Wrestling days in Calgary.


Anyway, RIP Curt.

Rick Rude died from cardiac arrest on 4-20-99 caused by an overdose of pain medication

Sh!t. He was always one of my favorite wrestlers. His promos were great. I hadn't cheered WWE programming for a while until he did the bubble gum swat thing at his return at the Royal Rumble.

I vaguely remmeber there being a diffrent one after a while and people saying he had died from taking steroids.

Besides who really knows why he died remember that baseball player everyone said the same thing turned out to be his arteries were all clogged up.

The original Warrior is still alive. He is changed immensely since his wrestling days though.

yeah but i recall there beign two diffrent ultimate warriors...am i wrong?

There was only one Ultimate Warrior. The rumors of multiple ones or that the original died were false.

There was a wrestler called Renegade. He was kinda like Ultimate Warrior wannabe. He is the one who died and peopel confuse them.

[XZeroII]

A perfect end to a perfect life...

Cocaine....."The Dr. said it'll kill me but he didn't say when"... That's because he doesn't know That's a drag about Curt, but if one person stops doing blow because of it, we'll be better off as a society.
That $hit is the real terrorism in our world.
