Hawk died October, 2003.
(he's the one with his tonge out)
Wow, I didn't know that. How did he die?
in his sleep.
they said heart attack...
INDIAN ROCKS BEACH -- Wrestling had taken them to the far corners of the
globe -- Australia, Japan, Korea and every corner of the United States. For two
decades, the world knew them as "Hawk" and "Animal," the Road Warriors,
tag team wrestling legends.
Now the team will live only in fans' memories, Michael "Hawk" Hegstrand,
45, died in his sleep at his home in Indian Rocks Beach early Sunday
(October 19, 2003), friends and family said.
Friends said Mr. Hegstrand and his wife, Dale, had recently bought a
condominium near their current home and were packing boxes Saturday evening.
Mr. Hegstrand said he felt tired and went to take a nap. When his wife checked on him about 1 a.m., he was dead, they said. A cause has not been determined Monday.

Laurinaitis says Hegstrand suffered from a weak heart. During a tour of Australia a few years ago, Hegstrand found out the ventricle wall of his heart was so stretched out that it had half of its normal thickness. Laurinaitis also admits his partner had substance abuse issues in the past, but maintains he was clean and sober for the last eight years of his life.
"He was a heavy-duty partier," Laurinaitis admitted. "He did what he wanted to do after hours, and he got nailed on a couple of tests." But in recent years, Laurinaitis says he and his partner turned to Christianity to help chase away the demons that came with international fame.
"They always talk about finishing strong," Laurinaitis said. "(Hawk) finished the race strong, because he got the forgiveness fo God and then he finished strong in the race because he got rid of all the demons in his past. He had a heart bigger than himself."
Glad they finally arrived, lol. Canada Post sure as hell is slow. We can settle up at your convenience. [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]

Chaser, I'm pretty picky with what wrestlers I get...I mean, there's TONS out there, and I've almost got all the ones I want. I have 13 right now, and two more on the way. a couple more after those will "complete" my wrasslin' collection, as far as I'm comcerned. didn't know until yesterday that they made a Bobby Heenan figure, which I'm gonna have to get.
