Right, sorry to hear about your Aunt.
The same cancer can affect various people quite differently.
Glad to hear she’ll get the treatment she needs, and I hope they can get her better.
Hopkins is a fantastic facility.

In my post, I was referring to the money wrestlers made and saved during their careers.
Even if they had THE MONEY to afford treatment, they wouldn’t have it for long after the costly medical bills that pile up quickly.
That's all I was getting at.

The medical coverage system is a complete joke.

With Shane McMahon gone from WWE, Vince McMahon’s daughter Stephanie and her husband Triple H are seen as the successors to the WWE empire. Triple H has been a power player behind the scenes for years and many in the company see this year as a time when Vince will shift more responsibilities to his son in law. While Vince is not going anywhere any time soon, the overall feeling within WWE is that the company will be in good hands under Triple H and Stephanie

The Wrestling Globe Newsletter reported Friday afternoon that WWE creative team members wants to make a big change in Nexus.

Apparently, the transition from Wade Barrett to CM Punk as Nexus leader is insufficient. Instead, there's talk of a female - possibly a WWE Diva - becoming the latest member of Nexus.

true, but just like canseco's book there got to be some truth in it. his girlfriend lisa was in the book when the girl died with jimmy superfly snuka. and he was involved in the brody death as he was wrestling in puerto rico at the time.

WMAQ-Ch. 5 sports anchor Mike Adamle has been charged with driving under the influence after he was stopped by Evanston police early Monday and later displayed “erratic behavior,” authorities said Tuesday.

The former Chicago Bear and Northwestern University All-American was arrested at 1 a.m. Monday in the area of Main Street and Judson Avenue, according to a police report.

Adamle was pulled over for allegedly disobeying a red-flashing traffic signal at Main and Sheridan, according to police Cmdr. Jay Parrott. The officer who pulled him over believed Adamle could be under influence, so he conducted a field sobriety test, which Parrott said Adamle failed.

Adamle was taken to the police station, where he exhibited some ”erratic behavior,” according to Parrott, who would not elaborate. According to a 2009 Tribune column, Adamle suffers from epilepsy.

Adamle, 61, was taken to Evanston Hospital, where blood was taken, Parrott said. Police are not releasing his blood alcohol level pending results of a drug screening from the state police crime lab.

Police Chief Richard Eddington ordered that Adamle’s mug shot not be released, according to Parrott.
