Yokozuna thread

This is a wrestler that I wanted to do a post on and kinda touch on his career and his death. I watched a legends round table discussion about big men in the WWE and his name was tossed around as the next "Andre the Giant" in the WWE. They talked about how he was made into this specticle and they talked about how he was one of the heaviest men to ever wrestle. I read that one of the reasons he was released was because he started to put on even more weight as you can tell comparing him in this match to his earlier WWE run as champ. Did the WWE attempt to help him lose the weight before and after his release? I've read that many wrestlers have been released because they began to put on weight. Considering how unhealthy America is becoming do they offer anything to help them so that they dont end up eventually having a heart attack and dying like Yoko did?
