    I almost think it was a mercy killing. She did have severe Alzheimers disease. But I think he had some mental issues from all that coke he did back in the day or something.

      Apart from them he also took steroids.

      @Hapfletcher Is that what you call it? All he did was stand in the ring, put someone in a (fake) bear hug and that was it. The bigger, more muscular wrestlers are almost always non-athletic.

    i heard he might have assisted her to suicide to relieve her ills from a health issue. it's too bad, he really seemed like a true good guy in the old wwf, always wanting to rep oregon back then. he had the words oregon sewn in the back of his tights, and wore yellow and green colors in his outfit. i'm sure he was proud whenever howard finkel announced he was from portland, oregon

    Could have been a mercy killing..as she was apparently very sick..or could have been a murder, as he was a total weirdo with severe mental issues. When I first saw the headline, I didn’t know it was a current case, I thought it was a cold case, a body found somewhere.
    He’s exactly the kind of guy you would expect the most - at least according to how his comrades have always - always..described him. He even admitted ludicrous acts that he claimed, he committed over the years. Being involved in “Boys on the Tracks” in the late 80s and such.
