I well remember his days wrestling in Georgia before he got into Smoky Mountain and Extreme. Violent AF. Truly one of a kind.

Re: Obituaries - Gone but not forgotten.
S**t! I expected silence or “who?”
I mean he was a pretty flawed human being but he made a unique mark which is why people are writing obits for a bootleg pro wrestler who hasn’t wrestled in like 15-20yrs.

Re: Obituaries - Gone but not forgotten.
Actually he's been wrestling in indy associations. Wasn't doing much, just barking and talking s-------t.
Over the years, I've always been a heel fan in wrestling but he wasn't one of the sport's shining lights.

Piper, JYD, Steamboat, Mr Perfect, Barry Windham, Chris Benoit (whos been wiped off the face of the earth by wwe who doesn’t want you to connect his Parkinson’s like diseased brain from flying headbutts to CTE...), Kevin Sullivan, Arn Anderson, Brian Pillman, Stone Cold, Terry Funk is my personal crew. Few others as well. Didn’t watch a ton of ECW but remember bootleg ones as a kid in the 80s with a bunch of different guys including Abdullah the Butcher And early Cactus Jack.

Re: Obituaries - Gone but not forgotten.
Couple of tidbits on Abdullah:
1. He had a bbq joint near atlanta.

2. The WCW early post NWA merger days did a PPV matchup where Abdullah gets fake electrocuted. It’s ridiculous and wonderful!

Re: Obituaries - Gone but not forgotten.
now here's a real contrast ~ Don Kernodle who often wrestled as a heel passed away. but he was beloved by fans and wrestlers alike:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mma-uf ... d=msedgntp
Yesterday, the NWA broke the sad news that Don Kernodle was dead at 71 years of age.
A North Carolina native who was trained by Ole & Gene Anderson, Kernodle was a star in Jim Crockett Promotions’ Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling in the 1970s and ‘80s. He was best known as part of Sgt. Slaughter’s “Cobra Corps”, and twice winning the Mid-Atlantic Tag titles with fellow Corps member Jim Nelson. He & Slaughter eventually also became the NWA World Tag champs, an honor Kernodle attained three times (he also had reigns with Cowboy Bob Orton and Ivan Koloff).
In 1982 and 1983 he appeared for the then-WWF, working singles programs putting over the likes of Rocky Johnson and Tito Santana. It was in ‘83 that his steel cage tag match with Slaughter against Ricky Steamboat & Jay Youngblood did so much business for Crockett that it inspired the promoter to hold the first Starrcade later that year.
He retired from the NWA in 1986, but continued to wrestle occasionally on the independent circuit. Kernodle was also a deputy sheriff in Alamance County, North Carolina. He was slated for a July induction into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame.
PWInsider notes Kernodle had been dealing with numerous health issues recently.
Join us in sending condolences to Kernodle’s family and friends.

Heck of a batter back in the day. I enjoyed those Pirates as they were first ball hitters, would often run up big scores, but complete their games in about 2 hours since they didn't wait for their ideal pitch. Just swing away one batter after another.

Re: Obituaries - Gone but not forgotten.
trackman Lee Evan, '68 Olympics:
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/100 ... -at-age-74
According to Elliott Almond of the Bay Area News Group, Evans' children recently launched a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for his medical expenses after he suffered a stroke. He had been hospitalized in Nigeria, and Solofo Evans described his father as "not in a good place" medically.
Evans won gold medals in the 400-meter dash and 4x400-meter relay at the 1967 Pan American Games before claiming an NCAA national championship in the 400 meters at San Jose State in 1968.
Later that summer, he collected gold in the 400 meters at the Olympics in Mexico City with a time of 43.86 seconds to break his own world record. That record stood for 20 years.
The Madera, California, native was also a member of the U.S. team that set a world record time of 2:56.16 in the 4x400-meter relay en route to a first-place finish.
In addition to his athletic achievements, USA Track and Field celebrated Evans' accomplishments outside of the sport:
"Evans was a leading member of the Olympic Project for Human Rights, an organization that called attention to racial inequality and oppression in the United States and abroad. Along with 1968 Mexico City teammates and 200m medalists Tommie Smith and John Carlos, Evans worked to inform and educate through his efforts in athletics, and on the award stand following his 400m victory he wore a black beret to symbolize solidarity with other civil rights organizations."
Such a great shame that after all those great accomplishments he was still basically living in poverty.

Re: Obituaries - Gone but not forgotten.
John Warner, respected GOP pol:
John W. Warner, the five-term U.S. senator from Virginia who helped plan the U.S. Bicentennial celebrations, played a central role in military affairs and gained respect on both sides of the aisle for his diligence, consensus-building and independence, has died in Alexandria, Va., at 94. His former chief of staff Carter Cornick announced the death but did not provide further detail. Because of his willingness to buck his increasingly conservative party, Mr. Warner became the Republican whom many Virginia independents and Democrats respected and voted for. By the time he retired in 2009, Mr. Warner held the second-longest tenure of a Virginia senator.
As a former secretary of the Navy and, in later years, one of only a handful of World War II veterans in the Senate, his opinions on military matters carried considerable weight. His consensus-building on a number of critical issues led him to be known as one of the Senate’s more influential members. As chairman of the Armed Services Committee, Mr. Warner provided critical support for President George W. Bush’s handling of the war in Iraq. During debate on a Democratic call for the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq in 2007, Mr. Warner led the Republican opposition, saying, “What we have on the line is the credibility of the United States of America.”
The next year, however, he broke with the president’s proposed “surge” of additional troops for Iraq, and with his own subcommittee’s recommendation of even higher authorization, a stance that strengthened Democratic efforts to curtail spending on the war.“The reason I’m into this situation so deeply,” he said, “is that I feel that the American citizens have given so generously with their sons and daughters. Have we not fulfilled our commitment to the Iraqi people?” He also urged the administration to give more attention to rebuilding the economy of Iraq. Along with Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsay O. Graham (R-S.C.), he co-sponsored legislation that banned the torture of suspected terrorists and opposed key provisions to the military commissions created to try war criminal suspects at the U.S. Navy base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
Mr. Warner frequently went against his party in domestic affairs. He supported legal abortion, although he voted in favor of numerous limitations on the procedure; supported gun control; voted against confirmation of President Ronald Reagan’s U.S. Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork; and urged lifting President George W. Bush’s restrictions on stem cell research. In 2005, he was part of the bipartisan “Gang of 14” that prevented either party from using parliamentary maneuvers on judicial appointments. He was no maverick, though. Mr. Warner supported the three Republican presidents under whom he served — Reagan and the two Bushes — more than 90 percent of the time.

F Lee Bailey, 87:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/fa ... d=msedgntp
High-profile criminal defense attorney F. Lee Bailey, who famously represented O.J. Simpson in his 1995 trial, has died, the former NFL star announced on Twitter Thursday.
Superior Court Judge Kenneth J. Fishman, Bailey’s former partner, confirmed the news to The Boston Globe. Bailey was 87 and died in Georgia, according to the Globe, though the cause of his death was not immediately specified.
Bailey served as one of Simpson’s attorneys during the former running back’s 1995 trial, which ended in his acquittal in the 1994 murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.
In a touching tribute on his Twitter page, Simpson called Bailey, "a great friend," and "one of the great lawyers of our time."

I'll never forget how he helped tear racist Hitlerian Mark Fuhrman apart on the witness stand. Later on the city of LA was forced to pay $25 million in damages for the crimes they committed on innocent blacks. Too bad the city had to pay rather than those criminal punks in the police force.

Re: Obituaries - Gone but not forgotten.
the popular Mudcat Grant:
https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.hrqP0JiGn ... mgDet&rs=1
https://www.si.com/mlb/2021/06/13/mudca ... inner-dies
Mudcat Grant Passes Away at 85, 1st Black 20-Game Winner in American League
Jim “Mudcat” Grant, the first Black 20-game winner in the American League and a key part of Minnesota’s first World Series team in 1965, has died. He was 85.
The Twins announced Grant’s death Saturday. No cause was given. Grant’s personal assistant, on behalf of the former right-hander’s family, informed the Twins of the death.
Grant spent less than four full seasons of his 14-year major league career with the Twins, but they were by far his best.
After being acquired in a trade with Cleveland on June 15, 1964, for George Banks and Lee Stange, Grant led the American League with 21 wins in 1965. Don Newcombe of the Brooklyn Dodgers was the first Black 20-game winner in the majors in 1951.
Grant’s career-best season helped the Twins post a 102-60 record for a spot in the World Series. He also led the league with six shutouts in 1965.
He started three times in that World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers and won twice—including a 5-1, complete-game victory in Game 6, during which he also hit a three-run homer. Sandy Koufax and the Dodgers won Game 7.
Grant went 50-35 with a 3.35 ERA in 129 appearances, including 111 starts, with the Twins. He was traded to the Dodgers after the 1967 season and also wound up pitching for Montreal, St. Louis, Oakland and Pittsburgh.
Grant was long known by his unique nickname, though there are varying stories about its origination. The native of Lacoochee, Florida, where he grew up poor in a small, segregated town north of Tampa, signed with Cleveland at age 18 and made his major league debut for the Indians in 1958. He finished his 14-year career with a 145-119 record and a 3.63 ERA over 571 appearances, including 293 starts.
After retiring from the mound, Grant worked in Cleveland’s community relations department and as a broadcaster while becoming an activist and advocate for Black participation in the sports. He co-wrote a book published in 2006, “The Black Aces,” which chronicled the lives of his fellow Black 20-game winners like Bob Gibson and Ferguson Jenkins. In 2007, President George W. Bush honored Grant and “The Black Aces” at a White House ceremony for Black history month.
“At certain points in our past, we didn’t have a lot of African American pitchers,” Bush said that day. “I want to thank you, Mudcat, for showing courage, character and perseverance, and also thank you for setting an example.”
The Twins held a moment of silence for Grant prior to their game against Houston on Saturday night after showing a brief montage of black-and-white highlights from his playing career.
He was a frequent visitor to the team’s annual winter fan festival and maintained strong relationships with the Twins long after his playing days were done. Grant was an accomplished musician, too, with a talent for the blues. He sang a cover of Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World” at the 2011 memorial service for his former Twins teammate, Harmon Killebrew.
“Will never forget his smile, his voice or the way he could light up a room,” Twins president Dave St. Peter said on Twitter.
Great singer & dancer, too.
