Im dealing with an Uncle with dementia 6 yrs now! Its hard back breaking and heart breaking. You basically give your life to them and its emotionally draining. I wouldnt be surprised if he just snapped. Sometimes they push you beyond your limits they dont know their doing it! Prayers to Billy and his wife. So sad. 🙏🙏🙏

[@jameslowery3498]

I was my grandfather's care taker for 5 years with dementia. It's not for the untrained person. It's almost impossible. I did the best but it still wasn't enough. I pray for all families

[@giannifriendly5600]

Worked with that diagnosis for many years. Many forms and very complex. All I can say is embrace the good moments, have patience and you have my prayers. It is very heartbreaking and it became almost unbearable when my brother in law/ mentor/idol spent last 5 yrs of his life w dementia. I left the field shortly afterwards after 20 plus years.

[@jimmccormick6091]

I agree with you. I will wait for the details to come out before passing judgement.

[@maggielusk6833]

@giannifriendly5600 you always do your best by them but because of the deteriation of the dementia it makes it impossible. You get over one crisis n bang you're right into the next one.To make matters worse just got told yesterday out the blue they've changed his 2 carers he's had them for 5 yrs they know how to work with him! We're contesting it with social work. Just never ends.

[@maggielusk6833]

@giannifriendly5600 My friend was a mental health nurse for over 20 yrs and after caring for his mother with it for years by himself he walked away too. I used to get him in tears n tried to get him to accept more help ease the burden for him.He got into the alcohol cos he couldn't cope and became an alcoholic. So sad he was such a good person but this knocked him off the cliff.

[@ericjames9209]

Billy worked in Florida and Oregon territories. Recent shoot interviews I had seen had signs of him not really being altogether there. Prayers to his wife and her family, certainly didn’t deserve to die like that.

You answered my questions to my childhood far as why he never was World Champion. I thought he had it all as a wrestler but couldn’t figure out why he never reached the top. Thank you enlightenment Billy Jack Haynes was one of my favorite as a kid. I always wanted to see him & Hulk Hogan go at it & hopefully he would’ve won 🏅 the match & rematch. Not too many happy endings for most of these wrestling 🤼 legends ♥️🙏🏿

[@xavicastorena4739]

Wasn’t he all upset about Austin hitting Debra? Yeah I’m pretty sure slapping your wife is much worse than murdering your wife… 🙄

[@justmytwobits]

He was upset because it was Austin’s other wife whom BJH was also married to - Jeanie Clarke. She wrote a book.

[@justmytwobits]

His wife was seriously ill with Dementia, he cared for her 100% of his time. Apparently he had some dementia as well. Perhaps this has more to do with illness, than intent.

[@danielgouge4639]

My grandma was a Haynes before marriage. Looked to be from the same group of Haynes as Billy Jack. So this saddens me in a more personal way. As most Haynes are very protective of their families and loyal and this.....a tragedy. My condolences to his wife's family.

[@williethomas5116]

He was my favorite wrestler and nobody worked a full Nelson like him.

[@MasterWitchDoctor]

When I used to see him on Wednesday Nights at the Miami Beach Convention Center 5,000 ppl would all be screaming Billy Whack, Billy Whack, Billy Whack and he would get seriously pissed. I seen him wrestle there no less that 100 times with matches with Jessie Barr, Barry Windham, Mike Rotundo, Black Jack Mulligan, and Superstar Billy Graham who in my opinion made him look like crap. It was his matches with Jessie Barr that were the best you could tell they really hated each other and they were brutal. To those who say wrestling is fake I say go watch those matches and tell me its fake. There was a reason everyone hated him and we all knew he was definitely a quart low and now hes proven it. great channel by the way!!!

I remember when he first debuted on Big Time Wrestling (Portland). I vaguely remember the narrative, or script, I should say, that he got his muscles by lifting weights in JAIL. But I can't be sure if I'm remembering correctly.

[@philipmorris4843]

He wrestled in Florida earlier in his career as Billy Jack. At that time I didn’t even know what steroids were and thought he just lifted weights. He was a popular baby face here

In one of those Hanibal videos he tried to claim he was Vinces bastard half brother. The rumor is that he actually served time for manslaughter. He had a reputation for backstage fights.

[@TONYGILLEY]

😮 WTF?!?!? Last year I had been watching a lot of past WWF shows from 1986-1987, primarily on Prime-Time Wrestling where Haynes was showcased in several feature matches. Reliving this period was something of a surprise as I didn't realize back then how much he was being pushed in matches and protected during certain losses, which made you think he was going places, but then out of nowhere he just fizzled out the moment he was paired with Patera, feuding with Demolition over their abuse of his cousin Brady Boone; and then he was gone. I had heard about the "clean-up" of the murder of two young boys a few years back, but it was also within the last year where I watched several shoot-interviews where he would be brought up with the common theme of him having a really bad temper and kind of being a mark for himself. Without knowing any details of this current unfortunate situation, you could say I'm surprised...but not really.

[@kevinkruse7992]

Vince McMahon does nothing to help these guys

It is because the government has a vice grip on society. Every time something happens they make life for the rest of us. It only going to keep get getting worse because they don't get it. Sometimes bad things happen and life goes on. Now police have no concern for people or their health problems. Their so afraid to let one bad person get by. They would much rather destroy the rest of us.

The "entertainment" business in general is nasty, but pro wrestling (and I guess, the "adult" industry) don't have much mainstream credibility so the ugly stuff is less covered up by big business and big government.

They lost 23 out of 32 people in that ward in just a couple of months. Everything was blamed on COVID but if you ask anyone, they really died of starvation and neglect.
