Verne Gagne at age of 86 still lives, but we here at AdultFYI believe that Gagne has lent some kind of hoodoo or voodoo to active wrestlers. It all began when the Minnesota pro wrestling legend had an altercation with a fellow resident at a Bloomington, Minnesota health care facility.

It led to the death of Helmut Gutmann, 97, who suffered a broken right hip and died. Gutmann was suffering from dementia and Gagne, after a police investigation, was never charged.

Weird things then began happening. Gagne’s granddaughter Gail E. Gagne, a weight supervisor at Cretin-Derham Hall in St. Paul, was charged with two counts of third-degree criminal-sexual conduct [blowjobs] with a 17 year-old student at the school. She wound up getting probation.

But then the wrestling booga-booga kicked in. Pro wrestler Chris Kanyon was found dead of an apparent suicide. Macho Man Randy Savage died in a freak automobile accident. And, just the other week, retired wrestler Scott Hall was arrested on domestic battery charges when he allegedly attacked his girlfriend.

Granted, the Chris Benoit tragedy occurred two years prior to the Gagne incident, but the hoodoo had already been put in place. Benoit, you’ll recall, killed his wife and son before taking his own life; and lately we have the Hulk Hogan story which includes sex tapes, messy divorces, women young enough to be his granddaughter, car crashes and lawsuits as big as the Hulkster’s “Guns”.

Not to forget Miss Elizabeth, Randy Savage’s former wife, who died after mixing pills of hydrocodone, Alprazolam (Xanax), and anabolic steroids (testosterone and sazien) with vodka.

She was sharing an abode with another wrestler, Lex Luger, who was arrested later that day after a search of the residence revealed a number of illicit controlled substances, including anabolic steroids, OxyContin, synthetic growth hormone, testosterone and Alprazolam.

Luger was charged with 14 drug possession counts, 13 of them felonies. Miss Elizabeth’s death was eventually ruled accidental and Luger was given a $1,000 fine, sentenced to five years probation and required to submit to periodic drug testing.

In the center ring this week we have Marcus “Buff” Bagwell, formerly of the defunct Ted Turner wrestling organization, WCW, and we, presume, the defunct Craig Valentine promotion.

Bagwell, who was also questioned in the Luger case, met with a near fatal car accident this week and suffered a broken neck as a result.

It’s being reported that Bagwell may have suffered a seizure just before he was seriously injured when he flipped his Jeep, according to a police report.

Bagwell remained in intensive care Wednesday with several broken bones in his neck, face and jaw two days after the Cherokee County [Georgia] wreck.

Bagwell, 42, was northbound on Buckhead Crossing around 1:35 p.m. Monday when he called his wife to tell her he was going to have a seizure, the Woodstock police report states.

He then turned left onto Running Deer Parkway, where his 2005 Jeep Wrangler hit the curb for several hundred feet. Investigators believe Bagwell, who lives in Woodstock with his wife, then made a sharp left turn that caused his Jeep to spin across the raised median and roll over, police said.

Bagwell was transported by ambulance to WellStar Kennestone Hospital, Marietta, where he remains sedated due to the extent of his injuries.

It’s being reported on www.tmz.com that Bagwell’s near-fatal accident may have been the result of a seizure induced by a sudden change in medication — this according to his wife.

Buff’s wife dialed 911 Monday — right around the time of his accident — claiming Buff had just called her on the road, saying he was about to have a seizure. Buff’s wife was worried, so she called 911.

She told the operator, “He’s been cutting back on taking certain medications, and he is on a medication right now for a bacteria that’s in his system from another antibiotic. He’s trying to cut back on pain pills, and maybe that’s what’s causing [the seizure].”

She adds, Buff “has had a seizure before from the same thing.”

Another 911 caller, an eyewitness who ran to Bagwell’s aid after the accident, claims the 42-year-old was barely conscious with “a lot of blood on his face.”

The question is not when, but who’s next?
