I know this post is old but I could not help myself but to post something about this post, I was like 12 years old when this happen I can still remember NWA showing footage of the car and reading the announcement as it came across the TV screen. I was a huge Magnum TA fan I remember watching his feud with Nikita for the US title that only made Nikita a major player but it made TA a huger star than what he was back in the day.

 To be honest TA was on the verge of being World Champion I remember after he drop US title to Nikita, TA was starting his feud with Flair and it seem like everything was going right and Magnum TA was going to be the next World Champion then unthinkable happen.  To honest with you guys NWA never fully recover from what happen to Magnum he was going to be the WWE copy of Hulk Hogan and he was suppose to carry them into the next level. I remember when Scott Hall came to the NWA back in when they were changing to WCW, they had dye his hair blonde and he look just Magnum TA, hell I remember thinking to myself "holy **** Magnum TA is back!"; however, sad to say it was Scott Hall doing some kind retard gimmick where wrestling alligators or some ****.

  After reading this article it sorta makes me sad because there are so many wrestler who have had major or worst injuries just like Magnum TA and could not recover from them or they did not know how to cope with a life outside of wrestling.
