YoungWillz 21,037 Posted December 26, 2023 Jim Breaks also a DDP pick this year. QO quick enough to beat the end of the year? Edit: Another Christmas Day death according to other sources. Ah, a Jim Breaks and Adrian Street matchup. Both dead this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: Another Christmas Day death according to other sources. Ah, a Jim Breaks and Adrian Street matchup. Both dead this year. It’s hard to see him being a late broadsheet obituary. So I think he will either get the tabloid treatment within the next 48 hours or so or no obit at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Little says more about how "autobook card" the dying days of WCW were than Ice Train, having not been seen on TV for seven years, coming back to feud with Kanyon (who was tag-teaming with Road Warrior Animal). Pretty sure Ice Train was one of the first "American" wrestlers I ever saw, when WCW started on British TV he was getting a mini-push doing handicap squashes.

Surely would have been on social media first not some random on Wikipedia. Wrestling has enough media exposure that it would have been all over Twitter and various websites within minutes of him actually dying... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
