Ninja'd about Chyna:

http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/21/entertainment/chyna-wrestler-dead/

I will bet a paycheck that it will involve an overdose of some kind (intentional or not).

She was a hard drug user for quite some time, especially while during her adult movie stint, from what I had read.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
The artist known as Prince has died ... TMZ has learned. He was 57.

Prince's body was discovered at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota early Thursday morning.

Multiple sources connected to the singer confirmed he had passed.

The singer -- full name Prince Rogers Nelson -- had a medical emergency on April 15th that forced his private jet to make an emergency landing in Illinois. But he appeared at a concert the next day to assure his fans he was okay. His people told TMZ he was battling the flu.

I was a bit surprised at Chyna going so young, but sadly ex-wrestlers tend to, yet Prince's passing was really unexpected.

A healthy 57 year old shouldn't die from pneumonia that has been treated.

Not saying there is foul play, but I wonder if he maybe had something happen resporatory wise (or maybe even cardiac wise).

There is no actual cause of death yet but that is a theory. It usually is predicated on the fact that she was in pain quite a bit from professional wrestling. Stephen Toblowsky, who worked with her on a film, talked of how nice she was but that she had a lot of pain and even had stories of wrestling with broken ribs and having to take pain meds to get though it.

Wtf 2016, are we going to have anybody left by the end of the year? I'll have to boot up Mortal Kombat 9 and play as Prince Rain in his Purple outfit. It's an homage character, so he'll be used for a bit tonight out of respect.

Prince passing kind of hits me as his songs were very much a part of the musical tapestry of my youth and some of his songs, in particular, 1999, Lets go crazy, I would die 4 U, and Purple Rain, are still part of my play list.

He supposedly has a huge unpublished catalog that I am interested to see if it will get released now that he is gone.

Well, I hate wrestling and I'd feel VERY awkward watching a porno of somebody who recently died. So...any ideas?

Watch a porno of someone who died a while ago.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
