    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.

      @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.

    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.
