NintendoLogic Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 His Observer obit notes that New Japan wouldn't clear him to return due to heart issues, which they believed were steroid-related. He had also been banned from amateur wrestling for testing positive for steroids, which he claimed was due to a tainted supplement. Sadly, it looks like the obvious explanation is the likeliest one. 36 is way too young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the young stars of 80s/90s WWF hit 35 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
