First Earthquake and now Dr. Death?!
I just read this article about Dr. Death Steve Williams’ battle with cancer. My thoughts are with you Dr. Death, I hope you beat it.

Speaking of Earthquake, you’ll find this posting board post from John Tenta to be rather cool:

That’s awesome! What a great story to read, I’m glad he got out and those guys treated him and his family so good.
Although I am still quite upset with the WWE for them firing Dr. Tom Pritchard.
I’ll be curious as to what this week’s print edition of The Wrestling Observer says about his firing.
Bobbi Billard has her theory:

I don’t know how legit that girl’s comments are, it sounds more like she is bitter for being let go or whatever exactly happened. I wasn’t there so I can’t comment, but I can say wholeheartedly that Dr. Tom is not an evil man, and the people that I met in OVW were nothing short of professional, and completely dedicated to their craft. They didn’t expect a handout, and they bust their asses every day to perfect their craft and hopefully get the call to TV.
Were I to fathom a guess, I’m thinking this girl thought having big fake gimmicks and looking good was all that was needed to make it in the WWE.
As for Ivory being bitter, I would be too if I still looked good, and could wrestle circles around the current crop of ladies. They are wasting her by only having her host that weekend show that hardly anyone watches.
I think I may bookmark this girl’s blog though, it does make for an entertaining read.
I just found out Raw comes to Chicago in October, you can bet yr ass I’m going.
NICE! Will you be able to get backstage?
And did you see this?

“Mean Gene Okerlund is in dire need of a kidney donation. We will have more on this later.”
Jesus! First they were all dying, now they are all in critical health! Does this mean that both of Gene Mean’s kidneys are shot?! Holy crap! I hope he’ll be alright. I can tell you I sure do miss him on regular wrestling TV.
