I read a book that said that Rick Rude was a bad ass dude in real life and was one wrestler that could hold his own against just about anyone

I'm surprised Haystacks lived to see 55, he was billed at 600lbs.

If you didn't know Gorilla Monsoon died about a decade ago then you CANNOT be a TRUE fan of wrestling. Especially not the WWE.

i think you'll find that RECREATIONAL DRUGS, suicide, alcohol, pain killers, heart disease from being extremely overweight after retiring caused 95 percent of those deaths, not steroids.



Truth right thar.

BTW, Haystacks Calhoun and Giant Haystacks were NOT the same man. REALLY surprised you didn't know this.

Haystacks Calhoun was a 500-600 pounds REDNECK HILLBILLY wrestler in the WWWF in the 1970's and competed in many battle royals.

Whereas Giant Haystacks (also weighing around 600 pounds, but standing 6'7"-6'9" LEGIT) was a BRITISH wrestler who had matches against Andre The Giant in the late 70's in Australia and he fought Big Show in the WCW in the mid-90's, which incidentally was his LAST match.
