Jerry Jarrett just died.

I think that makes Cowboy Bill Watts the last old school promoter alive.

We're about to live in a world where no one but McMahon is alive...and he's getting old too.

Depressing.

Damn.

I got to see Lanny at the one wrestling event that came to Modesto in 87. It's when he still threw the frisbees. I was hoping to catch it but he wound up handing it to a disabled kid instead of throwing it.

I forgot who he wrestled.

Main event was Tito vs Butch Reed and Killer Bees vs Orton and Morocco.


I love how Lanny followed Savage's final wish...to have his ashes buried where his dog's were.

A lot of people wouldn't have followed through with it.

It's funny how during the Monday Night Wars, Lanny was making like 200k a year just to sit home. They wanted to make Savage happy so they also signed Lanny even though they didn't want him.


RIP


The Hogan vs Poffo SNME match is probably the most underrated match in the history of the program.

I just watched that match. One of the rare Hogan losses.

I think His and Randy’s dad died the same way

I've been waiting decades for a Magnum TA documentary.  Should've happened season 1.

Abdullah and JYD should be pretty good as well.
