Nothing official seems to have been released

His daugter posted his dying hand on instagram just now.

 

Going to be interesting what WWE do on TV regarding this. He's pretty much considered a bloke who got away with murder these days, but Vince knew what he'd done and he was one of their biggest stars ever. So you'd think they'll do something.

Tamina may want to avoid twitter for a while, as even after losing her dad, the 'he escaped justice' sentiment will be strong all over her social media.

 

I don't think being the Undertaker's Wrestlemania, Pipers Pit and the cage match against Don Muraco will feature in threads such as these as prominently as they may have once upon a time.

 

As for WWE mentioning it. If they do, they'd be wise to put whatever package they make right before the commercial break and don't mic the crowd for a reaction/round of applause.

Two minds about this, as most will be.

 

It's ignorance, as most will probably point out, but I'll remember him as a bona fide wrestling legend. I got into wrestling after his prime (1990 onwards) but he was usually sold as a legend, and I've watched a lot of his good stuff since.

 

The dirt around him is still very fresh though, and many will remember him for the wrong reasons. It's sad.

 

I'll say RIP Superfly and leave it at that.

Was never a big fan. Got into it when he just looked like a scrotum. I loved his music and that match with Barbarian where the lights went out.

 

When I started to find out he was something special once, I also found out he was probably a murderer so I never went back to find out.
