Last line of his bio. :(
He'll be in Dallas in late March for some horrorfest convention. Might be cool to go shake Hot Rod's hand. . . :)

Yeah, he was going to wrestle at a recent WWE PPV and ended up being diagnosed with the cancer right before the event. IIRC, he went to be treated for an injury and they were like, uh, we have some news for you and it ain't good.

That sucks that he has cancer, I used to love wrestling when I was a kid which is when he was in his prime.
In related news, my uncle is in Roddy Pipers latest B-movie :) Sin-Jin Smyth. Actually he was more of a stunt director and directed some of the 2nd and 3rd unit scenes, but he does have an onscreen role in the movie.

my uncle has worked with a ton of old wrestlers since he's been a stuntman for years. He was even the main bad guy in a two part episode of Thunder in Paradise (Hulk Hogans show) ;D
Heres my uncles IMDB is your curious: http://imdb.com/name/nm0440723/

He just came back out last week on Raw, and the King said he kicked cancers ass. So, I guess the Chemo worked.

Isn't there some wrastlin message board out there you can talk about this stuff on?
I understand that this is the "everything else" section of BYOAC but you've started like four threads now about this crap...

Don't like it, don't reply. Seems to be a popular topic among most here.

Yeah, when he was in his prime, he was greatness. I remember him v. Snuka at the Boston Garden vividly. Great stuff. Right up there with Flair in his interview skills, too. Trememdous all-around performer in his prime.
Actually had heard about "Smyth" months ago and liked the premise. Didn't know until now that Hot Rod would be in it. I think it's got potential to be as big as "They Live."
Very cool about your uncle. "Hollywood stunt guy" was on my list of potential careers when I was much younger. ;)

Yeah, I am pretty sure it does fall into that category. Like Texasmame said...

And it will remain that way until Saint changes the name to "Everything Else except wrestling", "Everything Else 3 times or less", or "Everything Else except for stuff crashwg doesn't like."
I don't see that happening, but feel free to start a petition.
:lame:
