Magnum TA owned a business and was a neighbor of my business.

He was a shell of his former self and partially paralyzed on one side of his body.

He wrapped a Porsche around a light pole in the mid 90s.

Very cool guy, very tragic story

I hope the do an episode on him

Magnum TA was going to be on Ric Flair's level with NWA/WCW from what the stories say.....I wonder how different early 90s WCW would have been had that wreck not occurred. We may not have ever gotten Bischoff as an EVP and never had the NWO....although Im sure Bill Watts would have still f'd it up.

That was 1986. As has been mentioned, Magnum and David Von Erich were the next guys. Everyone knew Magnum was going to be a massive star. David was looked at more as like an old school NWA champ like a Dory Funk or something I think.
