Leaving The Long Gone Sport I Loved
Thought I would go ahead and write my last blog. And in the process get some things out of my system. Brandi can put the bandwidth to better use, and considering I’m not marketing to a “select” crowd, why bother with an internet site? I have decided to walk away from the wrestling business [...]
Dick Murdoch Story
Thought I would retell an oldie but goodie. Dick swore by this story, so if there is something inaccurate, I’m blaming it all on the deceased. Dick Murdoch and Terry Funk would ride together to all the towns in the Amarillo territory. Murdoch was a bad driver, and Terry was a wreck a week type [...]
Making It In Indy Wrestling
My friend James Beard replied on a thread over at wrestlingclassics.com(cheap plug) about rasslers that can make a living on the indy scene today. James mentioned me as an example of a man that could do just this. Decided I would reply over here for a number of reasons. First, James is a friend and [...]
Steve Stack passed away yesterday. For those under 30, a brief intro. Steve was the voice of Amarillo wrestling for some of us growing up. And Steve was the lead announcer for SW wrestling during a long part of their existance. In fact, he called a “few” of my mat masterpieces. I’d like to have [...]
Wrestling Capital Punishment
I’m stealing this from Dirty Dutch Mantel. Simply because it is so fitting. We as a civilized country could solve the argument over capital punishment in a few simple steps. Once a person has been convicted of that capital crime, give that miscreant a choice. They can have life in prison. And the only TV [...]
Gene Kiniski Passes
Just a few random thoughts from a man that can only collect his thoughts every 4th or 5th day…… What is this NGT or XUZ stuff that the WWE has going on? All I know, Brian Danielson is on the “rookie” show while the Miz is on RAW??? Hopefully WWE has some plans for Brian……..And [...]
I Have a Song
Forget all the Wrestlemania bullshit. I have a song. That’s right, a song about me. Seems that a group by the name of Dead End put out a CD back in 2005. On that CD, is an obvious of example of song writing in a catatonic haze. My oldest , Brett, found this song on [...]
Mississippi Leg Humping and Wrestlemania
As far as the photo of Danielle humping my leg….I have nothing. Danielle always greets me that way. I have known Danielle and John Saxon a long time. John is another guy I helped along the way when I still had a full tank. And he’s done good, as they say in Mississippi. I figure [...]
Disco Inferno
My buddy Disco Inferno. For all the grief Disco catches, I like the man. Part of that is as simple as it is complicated. All of us are supposed to be born with some gland or bone that helps filter our brain to our mouth. On certain folks, they are either born filterless, or have [...]
Kung Fu Wrestling Buddy
A little backstory on some of the events. My kung fu buddy is one of the highly trained guards the ROK Army stations on the DMZ. These guys are supposed to be killing machines with their hands and feet. I would imagine the North Koreans have some similar version on their side of the walkway. [...]
