RIP , Bad Street Atlanta GA , should be a little calmer tonight. That just leave Michael Hays now . Last time I saw him on TV he was using a hand held thing to his throat to talk. They were 80's wrestling at its best.

That's too bad. Living in Philly I missed his/Freebirds' early eighties work, though I enjoyed them in the UWF. Wiki mentions throat cancer, though not nec as a cause of death: "Roberts had throat cancer after he retired but had surgery to beat it. He also quotes on WWE.com "Don’t smoke. I think the reason this happened to me is because I was smoking too much. I recommend to anyone who smokes to quit now. It is hard, but it is worth it.""
