What's interesting about that is that I would assume Vince used/uses steroids too. He hasn't taken near the physical toll that his roster has but it still can't be good for his 70(?) year old heart.

I just spent a half hour watching some old Hot Rod footage. Great memories. He wasn't the typical villain in that he was crazy, quick-witted, and comical. He would entertain you and make you laugh but then turn viciously physical and remind you he was dangerous. Pretty dynamic character compared to, say, the Iron Sheik or King Kong Bundy.
