Trust the 2 best matches on the card to be the ones where every fucker involved is dead now. Yep, that Dino Bravo match, something special there... It's quite impressive that all 4 men in the tag title match are still going, when it's got 3 alcoholics (at least), 2 guys who spent 20 years getting hit in the head with stupid things, 1 stroke victim, 1 heart attack (at least), and Jim Neidhart in it.

gcreptile 11,086 Posted August 10, 2020 Wiki actually says the reason of death was COVID-19... .. so after a long time, another COVID victim on the DDP. And quite ironic, considering he could have died of a hundred other reasons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alt obits guy 3,386 Posted August 14, 2020 This one was almost completely off the radar. British wrestler Dave Kidney, who won the British featherweight title in 1959 (a disputed achievement) and is listed on Wikipedia as one of the ten oldest wrestlers to compete, died July 21st. He was 89. Kidney's last match was on January 28th, 2011. He would have been 80 at the time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,638 Posted August 17, 2020 Not really the place for a discussion on the man's career, but Xavier was always one of the more confusing wrestlers in history - the second ROH champion, yet he did fuck all both before and after his run with the strap. Seemingly forgotten by wrestling history for a man who was at one point the ace of the #2 promotion in the USA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
