Anyone?

Over time, alcohol is brutal on the body.

He did

Good lord, how much did that guy drink in his day? Isn't he only in his early 50's?

i was friends with a bartender in hb at a bar that he went to regularly he said tank would sit at the bar and order straight vodka with a side of cranberry. he would dip the straw into the cranberry and drip it into the vodka. he would sit for hrs killing drinks this way day after day for years.

people warn us that drinking a lot can bad for us. But I think it's when you hit that level that it can really affect your health.

Not that he was ever in great shape for a fight, but it’s amazing he was ever even remotely in shape for his fights, drinking like that.

WCW Tank was the best he ever looked. Weighed around 230lbs.

Vodka and cock tonics.

I knew a buddy of his, said Tank could do a 750ml of Stoli before they went out. He would dump it into an old Del Taco cup and drink it like a soda.  Then head out for shenanigans.

 

Get well Tank!

"Guy has had it rough"

 

 

Maybe he should have not been so rough on his body via booze and whatever else. The guy has only himself to blame. I cant help but think theres someone out there that needs this transplant more. 

 

I've always been a fan to a point but let's not pretend that this is just some sad shit that happened to the poor guy.

I agree. As many on here I have a soft spot for him as he entertained us so damn well. And sure wish him well. But hard to feel pity when all this is self-inflicted, and he himself KOed people in street fights left and right.

He in no way should be at the top of the list for a kidney transplant being less than a year out from a liver transplant after bragging aboutout being a boozing weirdo cock-fag.

If any of this shit is even true.

Played UFC 12 for my kid earlier on YouTube. It was pretty clear in hindsight that he was a cock-jockey back then when he was "commentating."

He never called you back, get over it.
