I cant believe this, I dont know if someone else has posted on this or not but I just stumbled across this news. Im shocked, I loved his shows with John Cena Snr and Marty Jannety. So tragic, apparently it was a car accident I enjoyed his presenting and thought he seemed like such a good guy, absolutely awful news. Total shock at the moment.

It's a real shame. It's also been mentioned he had a brain aneurysm and fell in the shower and died. I know car accident was originally mentioned.
I really only know him from many years ago Kamala saying he didn't help with sending him money. Kamala also said the same thing about Dawn Marie but both posted proof. Dan lit into Kamala and frankly, I don't blame him. Kamala was pissed it was only $400+ from Dan and didn't find that acceptable so he lied about Dan. I will always be a Kamala fan but that was pretty crappy for him to do to Dan and Dawn. Apparently Dan and Tony Atlas were tight at one point but had a falling out.

Dan got a lot bad rep for the Tony Atlas falling out but it was totally undeserved, Tony is a known liar and has been caught out many times, and the truth was revealed when Dan was talking with Tonys wife and step daughter, Dan did nothing but help those older guys like Tony, Marty etc.

I wouldn't wanted to be disappointed by the guys I liked. I saw there's a video with Tony's wife (are they still even together?) and daughter in law. I may have to watch it but really don't want to. Tony was a really great guy the two times I met him and his story of he and his wife meeting is like a Hallmark movie. But I hate if it was an awful situation for his wife and her family. I am a huge Kamala fan but even I knew he burned a lot of bridges, always citing money issues, by leaving promoters. Dan's response to him with that was perfect. If Kamala had stayed with JCP, WWF, WCW he could have had a lengthy career and more money but he was always bitter about the money. I personally wish he had all of his Hasbro variant figures so he could have had that resale value money but it's really crappy a few hundred dollars of free money from caring people wasn't good enough for him and he had to lie. In the end, it just makes him look bad. I'm sorry for Dan, early 40s is way too young.
