After 3 doctors have told him that he's down to 3 months to live because of a weak/bad heart, Vader collapses in a Japanese ring during a match:


Not looking good for The Mastodon.

 

At the beginning of 2016, his doctor told him 1-2 years left. He seeked out numerous other opinions, and every doctor agreed.

He says that he feels great and that he thinks they're all wrong and he has a long time left, and he is going to continue to wrestle. He was a couple miles from my house with Big Time Wrestling a few weeks ago, and was still entertaining and fun, loving life.

Apparently, he was dropped during a bodyslam a few minutes earlier in this match, and he is in full denial that this has anything to do with his heart ... he insists it was a delayed reaction to a potential concussion from being dropped at the start of the match. Clearly, he's just in denial and willing to climb in the ring until the day he dies, though.

 

It's sad when these guys don't know when to call it quits. Dude is 62 with a bad heart, and still out there taking bumps.

 

Has nothing else?

 

That's probably the case. Still, it's sad that he'd rather check out of this life sooner than necessary rather than quit wrestling in his 60's. His life though.

 

Since it will be coming up soon. Who does everybody think from Smackdown will win Money in the Bank. Since a heel always is a better visual with having it. I think Mike Bennett having it could be huge for his push and he could be one that you would never know when he would cash the title shot in.

 

Haven't even thought that far ahead. haha But I don't think WWE bring a guy in from TNA and instantly put him in the title picture.

I'm just curious to see what WWE does with this House of Horrors match. Obviously, Randy Otron will win it, because Brock didn't go to SmackDown, so they can't have 2 both world belts going to Raw. lol But the match itself could be a lot of fun.

 

The ppv tonight could be the worst one awhile. Plus that House of Horrors match is going to be stupid.
