Lemonade Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Lucky Rathen is the Cool Thnker of Wrastiling. Thanks for the update.I've been watching WWE almost constantly for over 20 years, I've read virtually every book on the WWE (and on WCW and ECW), every autobiography written by a WWE wrestler, I spend at least an hour every day scouring the wrestling news websites and the pro wrestling apps, I listen to about 6 hours of wrestling podcasts every week, not to mention the 5-6 hours a week I spend actually WATCHING wrestling. Yeah, I know my wrestling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I've got a few wrestling types but not the king! Surely Ric Flair and Razor Ramone are due a death!Razor Ramone is definitely on the way out. He's been at death's door for months. Flair is in good shape though, he was back in the ring a couple of months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Flair surely must be nearly the wrong side of 70! How many huuuuge back body drops can one man take?!He's in his early 60s, definitely far too old to wrestle (his last few years in WWE were embarrasing considering how great he once was) but he's actually in pretty good shape for his age and takes care of himself. Unfortunately chronic mismanagement of his money, lawsuits and white-trash family dramas have left him on the verge of bankrupcy, he can't have the dignified retirement because he needs the money and he will probably wrestle until he dies in the ring. Razor Ramon (Scott Hall) has been in a spiral of drugs and booze for years, he's been in and out of rehab, relapsed so many times, almost died of pnuemonia, epilepsy, heart conditions and various other things related to substance abuse.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Hall#Legal_issues.2C_battles_with_drugs.2Falcohol_and_health_problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
