12 year old me is having a rough week. Adult me is only upset about Ozzy.

[-] KumaSudosa@feddit.dk 1 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely the same here.. I realise this dude was a waste of oxygen and that the world is better off now.. but the 12-year old me definitely has a special connection with him

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Nothing of value was lost.

If anyone saw his last public appearance on wwe, the guy got booed out of the building. The wrestling fans turned on him, zapping away his powers of hulkamania. Sadly it was the only thing keeping him alive.

On a side note, Jesse Ventura must be laughing his ass off right now

Cardiac Arrest

Turns out all those times he was ripping his shirt off, it was just because of chest pains.

[-] thann@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 weeks ago

May have been that his heart was two sizes too small

[-] medgremlin@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Most people with heart problems have too big of a heart. Cardiac hypertrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy (too much overgrown muscle and stretched out floppy muscle, respectively) are common end points of poorly managed hypertension (high blood pressure).

[-] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

All the gear definitely enlarged his heart to an unhealthy degree

Not just a magat, he was truly a piece of shit in his life, he also snitched to prevent a union from forming for professional wrestlers. Cared about no one but himself his entire life.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

ventura tried to help, but half-assed it and ditched the wrestlers once they wernt going to unionize, because he had sag-aftra as a backup if dint fall through, the wrestlers dint have backup plan, so they were scared of vince

What does MAGA have to do with it? He was an asshole. That's what he was mainly known for. The world is better without him.

It's a valid question, but you could be a bit more subtle

Shame he's gonna get lumped in with the other amazing celebrities we lost this week. Even in death, he can't support solidarity and has to shit on other people's hard work.

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

That's exactly what I thought when I read the news. He died just to try and steal attention from Ozzy, who actually deserved the attention.

[-] tehn00bi@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

Glad he got Trump elected before kicking the bucket.

[-] tehn00bi@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

To all the down votes… it is a joke. But I knew it would ruffle some feathers.

[-] Fondots@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

Cardiac arrest just means your heart stopped beating, which is pretty much the textbook definition of death.

That's basically like saying they're dead because they died.

The interesting thing we want to know is what caused the cardiac arrest. Any time you see "cardiac arrest" in an article, it means that they either don't know or don't want to say the cause of death.

A heart attack can cause cardiac arrest, so could an overdose, or falling and hitting your head, or getting shot in the face.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

most likely a Heart attack, given his age, and roid use. and cardiac arrest, mos tpeople assume its a heart attack, which is the most common cause of it.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

and looking like HOT dog. skin

[-] Fondots@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

That, or numerous other health problems, his body was pretty much wrecked from years of wrestling and such even without the steroids, he's had drug and alcohol issues, and the dude was in his 70s, it's not exactly unheard of for even relatively healthy people his age to just kind of keel over.

I don't think there's anything particularly interesting to his death, he was an unhealthy old guy, it's not in the least bit surprising that he died. But "cardiac arrest" in articles is a personal pet peeve of mine. It says absolutely nothing about the cause of death, and people who don't understand what it means tend to automatically think "oh, he had a heart attack" when that's often not the case. It tells you basically nothing that a headline of something like "Joe Schmo, famous taxidermist, dead at 69" hasn't already told you, and can be kind of misleading.

I work in 911 dispatch, the codes and policies and such used by different agencies will vary from one agency to another, I've entered calls for a "cardiac arrest" for countless different causes

[-] Alaik@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. Cardiac Arrest is just your heart stopped beating. Generally something else causes that. It's silly but I always find it frustrating when they say that too.

[-] americanzgenozida@thelemmy.club -1 points 2 weeks ago

who tf is hulk ogan

[-] jerkface@lemmy.ca -2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Hulkster might be dead, by my long Hulkamania rages on, brother. It's crippling.
