Killer Kowalski Update
Posted by Larry Csonka on 08.18.2008
It doesn’t look good…
Walter "Killer" Kowalski was downgraded today from "guarded" to "poor" condition. He remains unresponsive after suffering a heart attack on August 8th.

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

At least he's quite old, but here's hoping he pulls through.

You know in situations like this, death is a good thing. Im not trying to sound like an asshole or anything but why at that age would you continue to fight. Say your final goodbyes, make peace with god (if you do that kind of thing) and peacefully pass away. If it were me thats what I would want to do. I know that there is no way I would be able to get back to 100% health

You know, I never thought I'd say this, but...
Natedogg just nailed it. He's right. I wouldn't want to be fighting for my life at that age. Death really isn't a bad thing.
Still, if he makes it, I'll be happy.

I would never under any circumstances cease fighting for my life. Why would you? Because you could never be 100% again? That seems pretty fatalistic to me. Life is something we only have a certain amount of and I'd rather not give up that extra little amount. Who knows what comes after? Best wishes Killer, keep trying to stay alive.

I hope Roxxi has made contact.

I certainly agree with Natedogg, it would probably be of best interest for him to go now. But at the same time, it's still Killer Kowalski, and he is legitimately one of the toughest men we will ever see. The fact he's made this long has proven that. I'm with everyone else though, hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Even though Killer Kowalski was before my time, I wish him the best of luck in his recovery. You will always be a hall of fame champion. Good luck to a speedy recovry.

Never saw Killer Kowalski wrestle, but it's always sad when one of the guys who laid the foundation falls. How old is he? At least we can celebrate a guy who has lived a full life and not mourn another tragedy.
Evan, sometimes being fatalistic is a coping mechanism. Whatever the circumstances, I'd like to think when my time comes I will be at peace with it, not clawing in vain for one more breath. It's probably naive to think we can know until we're there facing it how we will react. I hope he pulls through, since it's almost always better to be alive.

At least he got a full life to live out. Unlike all the other wrestlers dying at more then half his age.
