Doubt that Buster. HE was sort of slow in his movement even in the 70's. HE never really got hit in the ring. The ill effects of his giganticism would have been greatly accelerated probably with the constant pounding and bending over he would have done. He would have lasted maybe 2-3 seasons tops then would have been messed up I would think. By the time he wrestled Hogan for the title in Wrestlemania he could barely move. By the early 80's he was just a big freak that couldn't get knocked down, but he could barely move.

Yeah, but when you're that big, it takes a while to run around you.

I was sort of being sarcastic with my comment. He died of a heart attack right? Was it steroid-induced or was it just the stress his huge body but on his heart?
