Styles Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 In the end, Jake Roberts and Scott Hall will outlive them all...
JangoFett4Hire Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 Jake Roberts is the Keef Richards of wrestling... RIP Hawk, when I got the rare chance to see you come out to Iron Man as a little kid, I'd nearly poop my pants.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 Jake Roberts used him as a dick at Heroes of Wrestling PPV and probably sold him for Crack last year. Poor Roberts.... I'm guessing you saved those from Wrestlecrap.
Downhome Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 Jake Roberts used him as a dick at Heroes of Wrestling PPV and probably sold him for Crack last year. Poor Roberts.... I'm guessing you saved those from Wrestlecrap. Indeed, I have all of their stuff saved on my computer now. The only question, is this. Which one of those .GIF's is the most disturbing? Ok, carry on now, I didn't mean to turn this into a Roberts' most disturbing moments thread.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 I Wish the Wrestlecrap site was still complete...:Sniffle:: Anyway...Will a Picture of RW Hawk be on the Site main page instead of Vince/Steph definition next week, or will RD no-sell his death and only give minor notice in the Mailbag?

I'm sure he'll have a picture up of him, as well as a fitting tribute. It's sad that Hawk himself has some WrestleCrap, with his "drunk/suicide" angle.
2GOLD Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 Hawk had his demons, no doubt. But I'd rather remember him like I knew him as a kid. Just one of my favorite NWA wrestlers.

The dummy not Public Enemy member.
Vyce Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 He was never one of my absolute favorites, but a part of me will miss him - he was still an important part of the business back when I first got heavily interested in wrestling back in the early 90s. I feel bad for his family as well. If this is drug related - not from present use, but perhaps from past indiscretions - it does make one wonder how many people are going to have to die before they reach their 50th birthday before someone somewhere cuts down on the worst of the drug abuse.
Downhome Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 Let's not forget that it IS possible that he, well, just died. Many people just pass away in their sleep for no good reason other than it was their time. Let's wait untill the cause of death is revealed before we comment on that issue. Either way, we shouldn't let his personal life get in the way of him as a worker and what did for so many years to entertain us. That is what should matter to us, and that is how we should remember the man. I'm certain that's the way he'd want it also.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 ::shocked Billy Graham is still kicking:: Now Road Warrior Animal is by himself. ::sniffle:: I guess its time to sign Hawk from TE2 to take over.
2GOLD Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 It really sounds like it was just a heart attack to me.
Guest The Decadent Slacker Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 I feel more sad about this than Stu. Why? Because I had more of a personal attachment to Hawk. Seen him on TV forever, laughed at his interviews for the wrong reasons-he just was one of those guys i always associate with my youth when it comes to wrestling. Due respect to Stu, but i can't really grieve for a guy i didn't have some sort of personal type bond with. With Hawk, it just reaffirms the reality that yes, my childhood is on life support. I'm sorry for the family, & he BETTER get some kind of tribute from Vince. TNA is a given. Fucking hell...only 2 guys from that era will make it: Funk & Roberts.
Guest hhheld_down Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 man... thats horrible... i grew up watchin LOD too and this is just really sad and shocking.... RIP I just hope thats the last wrestler death this year, there has just been way too many this year.
JustJoe2k5 Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 There return at Wrestlemania 14 always put a smile on my face, I was a pretty big fan of there's up until '99. RIP
Papacita Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 I dunno what saddens me more, the fact that Hawk's dead or that I'm not shocked about it. It's a shame though. The Road Warriors (along with Ric Flair) were really the first wrestlers I ever knew. My brother was a big fan of theirs, and when I was like 3 or 4, he had all of their posters on the wall and what not, and even though I didn't really watch wrestling regularly until I was 7 or 8, I became a fan of theirs through him, and remained a big fan up until 98, where Russo basically buried them in their feud with the Outlaws. I heard he'd gotten religious lately, so I sincerely hope this isn't another drug-related death. Either way, RIP Hawk.
Guest Your Olympic Hero Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 I thought Hawk commited suicide on Raw years ago. But on a more serious note, sad news. Hawk had cleaned himself up alot over the past year from what I've read, but I guess it was too little too late.
Celtic Jobber Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 Goodbye Hawk, nobody will ever say "Oooooooooh what a rush!!!" quite like you did. Rest in peace.
Jobber of the Week Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 I guess he finally had to sell that fall from the bigscreen sooner or later.
Guest FrigidSoul Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 Anybody notice that the average age of death for a wrestler is slowly creeping up to be worse than for football players? I just kind of find that in itself shocking
1234-5678 Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 This sucks! I can't believe Road Warrior Hawk is dead! Soon enough, you pop in a tape from a show just 10 years ago and just about everyone on it will be dead. Yeah, pretty soon Wrestlemania 7 and 8 will be able to be reenacted in Heaven. On another note, I would like to sample some of the immortality serum that Scott Hall has been making in his basement. Word is he also shared it with Raven and Tammy Sytch.
Celtic Jobber Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 (edited) This sucks! I can't believe Road Warrior Hawk is dead! Soon enough, you pop in a tape from a show just 10 years ago and just about everyone on it will be dead. That is just plain fucked up! WWF's Canadian Stampede ppv was only 6 years ago, and four of the ten people in it's main event are now dead. [brian Pillman, Owen Hart, British Bulldog, and now Hawk] Maybe there's not a "Hart Family Curse" as some people believe, but rather it's the "Canadian Stampede Curse"? Edited October 20, 2003 by Celtic Jobber
Guest Dmann2000 Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Jake Roberts is the Keith Richards of wrestling... That's exactly what I was thinking, he'll live to be 94.
BorneAgain Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 RIP Road Warrior Hawk. 4 people who participated in that ten man tag are dead. It's so weird to think we just saw him in May May!? My freaking nephew just saw him wrestle his final match just a mere three or so hours before he died. Now THAT'S weird. I remember how excited I was when I saw Terry Gordy at MECW show, only to be shocked about his death days later. Its disturbing to know you saw someone's last match before their death.
Jobber of the Week Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Maybe there's not a "Hart Family Curse" as some people believe, but rather it's the "Canadian Stampede Curse"? BENOIT DEATHWATCH 2003!!!!
Guest Boo_Bradley Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 With my limited knowledge of such things, I think Drug abuse = Fry your brain Steroid abuse = Heart Attacks You can live as a Dumbass, but not without a heart

Guest Choken One Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Maybe there's not a "Hart Family Curse" as some people believe, but rather it's the "Canadian Stampede Curse"? BENOIT DEATHWATCH 2003!!!! Benoit wasn't even on the show... Whose left anyways Bret Jim Austin Animal Goldust Shamrock well the heels on getting jobbed by the grim reaper here...
