<p>Not that bladder cancer is anything to make light of, but as a guy who deosn't follow wrestling, it really seems like wrestlers drop like flies.&nbsp; Why is it you never see &quot;wrestler&quot; and &quot;natural causes&quot; in the same sentence?</p>

The Natural Disasters won the tag titles as faces. He was also a face fighting the nWo for a while. <br />

what a suprise the guy was 42 years old. I remember him wrestling back in the early 90s and would have thought he was 42 back then. another guy who always looked 60 years old&nbsp;is Mean Gene Okerlund. from back in the 80s to present time, i bet he still looks the same.
