Considered the more talented rocker...only cares about drugs..blows his opportunity to be a solo star like Michaels.... does more drugs...his daughter came back into his life as an adult and he might have had an affair with her....and he witnessed a murder.

I think that covers it.

Did he witness it or did he commit the murder?  I've read he killed the guy.  Oh as an addon, he kept on getting rehired by the WWE in different decades (90s, 2000s) despite being a gigantic druggie/screwup.  Think about this: Michaels did a shit ton of drugs in the 90s and managed to remain employed.  Jannety managed to somehow do worse than that. 

I remember he won the IC title in 1993 on Raw and somehow managed to totally piss that away pretty quickly.  He was in his prime too.

The Iron Sheik died. RIP.

I had no idea he was 81. Jesus.

I know he kinda turned into a meme in the last 10-15 years of his life but I lost interest in that when it came out he wasn't the one writing that stuff...it was his handlers.

This will forever be his most famous match.... essentially the birth of Hulkamania and 80s wrestling.....


Him and Volkoff vs Windham and Rotunda is pretty good as well.

Mostly before the time I started watching, but they did randomly bring him back for appearances now and again (when I was a kid).
