As many of you know by now, the wrestling world lost Umaga (Eddie Fatu) yesterday, Dec. 4, 2009. It was quite a shame, too, as Fatu was probably the best wrestler ever at his size.
Over 300 lbs, he could fly around the ring like a guy half his size. He was amazing to watch, in my opinion, and will be missed.People such as Jeff Hardy were offered rehab and decided against it as well. Hardy, like Fatu, was released as a result of that. Hardy has been known to have had a drug issue, this much is documented.Chris Benoit, a man who many in the wrestling world really hate for killing his wife and child then himself, also had a drug problem.In probably the most unexpected move, former World Heavyweight Champion and 2008 Slammy Award-winning Superstar of the Year Chris Jericho made the leap to Friday Night Smackdown. Coming off a rather bland storyline where the erstwhile Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla criticized Mickey Rourke for his portrayal of an aging grappler in the flim The Wrestler, Jericho will likely liven up the Friday night roster and make a run for the title.The WWF world champion is now a charter member of WCW. His allegiance to WCW at Invasion helped him get out of the comedy skits with Angle and Vince McMahon and give him major heat for his "Stone Cold" heel persona again.
