Wonder how he died, he looked in alright health in recent years at conventions

Oh yeah as we say with most of these guys from the 80s/90s who died: RIP thanks for the memories, thanks for that time you were cool when we met, but fukk you for your backwards social and political views. It is what it is:yeshrug:

Rest In Peace to the character Animal, Joe Laurinaitis can :camby:

Well put. I still don't like how he threw so much shade at Hawk in the Darkside of the Ring episode. Same goes with his outspoken MAGA politics.

RIP to Animal. The Road Warriors were a huge part of my childhood, and I was really bummed out when Hawk died since he was my favorite of the two. I'm glad they got put into the HOF before they both were gone.

My Pops Forever RIP
old racist cac dies
coli in tears :to:

:picard:
whether we like it or not, those racists had a lot to do with why we enjoyed our childhoods. What we know now sucks but we weren't watching these guys like :mjpls: when we were kids.

Now that we're older we look at them differently but those memories are forever.


Animal died at a hick resort. it was his turn :wow:

He seemed like he probably took good care of himself for the last 15-20 years, but all those years of wrestling and roids still got him. RIP, 60 isn't too bad and he had a great career.

Watching Animal’s shoots were always hilarious, because he had zero humility. Everything that went right for the Road Warriors was his doing and everything that went wrong was on Hawk or somebody else. Dude’s ego would make Hoegan look meek in comparison. He could care less about burying other people to put himself over.

One of my favorite shoot moments of all time was him outing Pillman for being a crackhead for no reason other than making Pillman look even more like a degen.
