WyattSheepMask Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Just read myself. According to PWInsider it was a car accident. He was only 53! Which meant he looked 53 20years ago when I watched his extremely short run in the WWF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which meant he looked 53 20years ago when I watched his extremely short run in the WWF Â It's been a bad year for ex SMW guys in car accidents. May stick on the match with Shawn in a bit.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted June 22, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 22, 2015 Buddy Landel? Shit! Much underrated, shame his career was derailed and ruined by drugs to the extent it was. He was about 30 when he turned up in WCW in 91 and looked far older, but as he proved during his babyface turn in SMW in 96 (including a great promo) directed to Shawn Michaels, he was still a fine pro wrestler.  RIP Budro.

TheShowOff Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Saw a match of his on YT against HHH, looked like it was 1999. Had no idea he was still around the WWE at this point in time.  RIP Buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Landel would have had a much more successful career had he been able, by his own admission, to control his issues with drugs and alcohol. Shame his WWF run was cut short by injury as I think he would have been a good opening/mid-level heel for them. Â RIP Buddy Landel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted June 23, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2015 He was only fairly recently a guest on Colt Cabana's podcast. Seemed like he had his life in good order after all those years of drug issues. He was an interesting guy to listen to, I knew very little about him as he'd never had a proper run in the big leagues but it seems he was considered a big deal in the dying days of the real territory era. Mad that he was so young- with his name, look and the fact that he hasn't been seen much at all in twenty years, you would be forgiven for thinking he was much older.
