He's still going at it, almost 8 years after breaking his leg during a match. (There's probably a video of it on Youtube, but it ain't pretty.)Billy Suterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06226549414565410519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15421385.post-85596203026045861342008-12-30T16:02:00.000-05:002008-12-30T16:02:00.000-05:00Being a die hard WCW mark I about jumped out of my...Being a die hard WCW mark I about jumped out of my seat when I saw this post.

My nephew and I used to collect these back in the day; he mailed me the Brian Pillman one when he died.<BR/><BR/>And Sid is apparently still hoping the phone rings with Vince on the other end. Even at 50ish, he's still an absolute beast.Slettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986393523654314206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15421385.post-22658562866926041512008-12-30T13:37:00.000-05:002008-12-30T13:37:00.000-05:00Hey!

He's been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. No word on whether his induction was accomplished at the threat of a vicious bodyslam.<BR/><BR/>2. Flyin' Brian Pillman played special teams for the Bengals. Died of a heart condition in 1997. As can be said for most of these guys, admitted steroid user.<BR/><BR/>3. Lex Luger -- before he killed Miss Elizabeth with drugs (allegedly) Larry Pfohl played on the 1979 University of Miami team with Jim Kelly and logged some time in the CFL. He has turned his life around, so I shouldn't rag on his so much. See http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=3016179<BR/><BR/>4. El Gigante was Argentinian Jorge Gonzalez who was an Atlanta Hawk draft choice in 1988. When he couldn't make it there, Ted Turner moved him from the Hawks to WCW.MMayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09893007769493689849noreply@blogger.com
