Natty vs Alexa was announced for tonight. I guess that could change though.

I'm sure that's changing

I'm also sure Alexa is about to cut a great heel promo during tonight's show

you know this has to impact the current Ronda Rousey storyline since Natty's been "her best friend in wrestling & wrestling trainer" since she made the jump to WWE


I don't think it hurts it. Maybe she won't be out there to either take a beating or be ringside for a Rousey match but besides an older name for Rousey to "look up to", she didn't really bring anything to the story line.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she is back soon. Will say something like he would have wanted her to perform and will do it in his memory or something.

Hope they don't go low with it. I hate when a death or legit illness is worked into an angle.

Damn. Never really liked his persona, but I hate to hear about his death.

I'm sure they won't. Sometimes they jump the shark too soon, but not on the day of a death.

A great heel never leaves a real-life situation alone.

It's the reason why they are a heel.

That version had a giant gut and couldn't wrestle his way out of a paper bag without Bret.

Neidhart’s body needs to be donated to science so they can figure out someone can do so much drugs over the course of their life and not drop dead.

Seriously, him and Jake The Snake are wrestling’s answer to Keith Richards.

No shite

Sheik is almost 80
Scott and Jake are early 60’s

I always laughed at sheik’s response regarding how long of a line of coke he’s snorted. He always says 12 inches

Current word is complications from a fall leading to seizures and convulsions.

So possibly concussion related but doubtful to be CTE IMHO.

Ross Hart spoke with Dan Gelston of the Associated Press on Monday to talk about the untimely passing of Neidhart, 63, who died after reportedly hitting his head after falling in his home.

"He got up [Monday] morning and went to lower the tempature on the air conditioner and he just collapsed and I think died pretty quickly," said Hart. "I was thinking this was stemming from Alzheimer's which he'd been battling for some time."
