More On Neidhart's Death

This has been a rough day regarding the death of Jim Neidhart. We'll talk more about it on the show. The death came out of nowhere which makes it such a shock. I was told it has been a very sad day at TV in Greensboro because Natalya and T.J. Wilson are both so well liked by almost everyone. I've actually known of Jim since I was very young since he was a superstar in high school track, and when I was in high school years after him, we had a great shot putter who ended up winning state, and the goal that he never came close to was Jim's all-time state high school record. But I remember him as a world class shot putter that Stu Hart was training for pro wrestling nearly 40 years ago.

According to the police report, they were called at 6:41 a.m. today and told that Neidhart fell, hit his head and was bleeding. His wife Ellie said that Jim was having difficulty sleeping, told her he was cold and wanted to adjust the thermostat. She got out of bed and he walked over to the thermostat, then fell toward the wall, evidently having a seizure, and hit the ground and she called 911, believing he had a seizure. She saw blood, saw him gargling and told the operator she thought he was dead. He takes medication for seizures and last had one on 12/21. He had a cut on his face from the fall of 2-4 inches in length. (thanks to Timothy Wronka of Bay News 9)

MLW's 'FILTHY' TOM LAWLOR RELEASED BY UFC

"Filthy" Tom Lawlor's ten-year tenure in UFC ended today when he was released from the company, less than two months before his two-year drug test failure suspension expired.

Lawlor, 35, who wrestles independently, most notably with Major League Wrestling where he's one of their signature stars, was planning on returning to UFC when his suspension ended on October 10. Lawlor also does a regular weekly show, "Filthy Four Daily" with Bryan Alvarez on this site.

Lawlor failed a test for low levels of Ostarine on October 10, 2016, and had no explanation of how it got in his system. He went so far as to test an enhanced coffee that he had been given by someone, but that failed to be the answer. 

Lawlor had a 10-6 record with 1 no contest as a fighter, with his most recent fight being a close decision loss to Corey Anderson on March 5, 2016, in Las Vegas. Anderson is currently the No. 6 ranked contender in the light heavyweight division. He had expected to return to the UFC in the fall.

Lawlor had asked for his release when being suspended and UFC declined to release him at the time.

"All things come to an end and it was inevitable that so would my time in UFC," said Lawlor. "Today I was informed that I will be released by the UFC despite my USADA suspension being nearly over and my previous requests for a release being denied. While the timing is unexpected, hopefully this opens the doors for me to continue with my mixed martial arts career as well as in the squared circle (squared circle is an old term for pro wrestling). Combat sports is one of my life’s great loves and I look forward to showing and sharing that with the fans as soon as possible."

JIM 'THE ANVIL' NEIDHART PASSES AWAY (updated)

Former WWE star and Cauliflower Alley Club President Brian Blair announced the passing of former WWF star and founding member of the Hart Foundation Jim Neidhart this morning.  Neidhart, the father of WWE star Natalya, was 63 years old.

Blair wrote, "It is with a sad heart, that I share with you the passing of a long time friend and colleague, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. Your thoughts and prayers for the family are appreciated!"

PWInsider.com has independently confirmed Neidhart's passing.

Over the course of his career, Neidhart, a former WWF Tag Team Champion with Bret Hart, worked for WWF, Stampede Wrestling, WCW, ECW and many, many, many other promotions great and small.  The word making the rounds in recent weeks was that he was dealing with an illness.

According to Ross Hart, his brother-in-law, the death was due to a grand mal seizure related to the Alzheimer's Disease that Neidhart had been suffering from for some time.

WWE Hall of Famer Gene Oklerlund remembered Neidhart on his Facebook Page, writing, "If you couldn't like Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart your the one with the problem. You didn't to always agree with him but if this guy would give the shirt off his back. He was a tremendous athlete. Track and football. High point of his wrestling career was his run with Bret Hart as one half of the Hart Foundation managed by Jimmy Hart. He was 63.
