It has been reported for a while now that former WCW and WWF wrestler Vader is in very poor health, and the man himself claimed last year that doctors had given him an estimated two years left to live due to congestive heart failure. About one year has passed since then and Vader seems to be much more comfortable with his health now. Vader recently took to Twitter to update fans on his health, saying “my Drs say Im getting better heart is better, stronger. I am saying like I always have since day one Two yrs my Ass.” Fans have been begging WWE to induct Vader into the Hall of Fame, but he is not one of the rumored names for this year’s class. Despite this, Vader will hopefully continue to prove his doctors wrong.

Unfortunately, it looks as though the wrestling world lost another name recently. It has been confirmed that former WCW and WWF performer Tom Zenk passed away at the age of 59 on December 9th. Zenk won numerous titles during his time working for WCW, and he worked for promotions in countries such as the United States and Japan. He was most famously part of the Can-Am connection with Rick Martel in WWF. Zenk’s career in the professional wrestling industry began in 1984 and he retired in 1996. The Star Tribune posted Zenk’s obituary recently, stating that the former professional wrestler passed away a few days ago at the North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale, Minnesota.
Before he began appearing on NXT and started fearlessly laying stiff chops and kicks to every wrestler he came in contact with, Oney Lorcan made a name for himself for years on the independent wrestling circuit. WWE has been building relationships with independent promotions for a while now, and with Raw’s Apollo Crews being announced for an upcoming PCW UK event, it was only a matter of time before Lorcan received the chance to go back to his roots. Beyond Wrestling just announced that Lorcan will be appearing at the ‘Heavy Lies the Crown event on New Year’s Eve in Massachusetts. He does not appear to be wrestling though as he is only being advertised to appear in front of the crowd and sign autographs.
