Former WWE Star Found Unfit To Stand Trial In Wife's Murder

(Portland, OR) -- A former professional wrestler accused of killing his wife in their Portland home is being found unfit to stand trial. A Multnomah County judge on Wednesday ordered 71-year-old William Haynes, better known by his ring name Billy Jack Haynes, be sent to the Oregon State Hospital for treatment. The former WWE star is accused of shooting his 85-year-old wife Janette Becraft last year and then barricading himself inside their home for two hours before surrendering to police. Haynes wrestled for the WWE from 1986 to 1988 and was known for his feuds with Randy Macho Man Savage and Hercules Hernandez. Another hearing on his fitness to stand trial is set for next Tuesday.
