Great to see Wyatt as champ

Apparently in the last day or so Nicole Bass & George 'The Animal' Steele (at least according to Hogan ... haven't seen any other confirmation on George yet) went out on their backs. Add that to Chavo Sr. and not a great week for wrasslers.

edit: It would seem, in fact, that George is probably no longer with us.

BREAKING: WWE is saddened to learn that WWE Hall of Famer George “The Animal” Steele has passed away at age of 79. http://wwe.me/MVu3KZ

From https://www.facebook.com/evagrio.mosca/posts/10210110373849481
I lost a dear friend today - Jim Myers, aka the famed wrestler George "The Animal" Steele. His daughter, Felicia Ann Myers Smith, sent me a message this morning that he had passed. Inside the ring, Jim was a savage competitor. Privately, he was a physical education teacher and football coach in Madison, Wisconsin. He had also played professional football in the Canadian Football League. He married his college sweetheart, Pat, and they had three children. He was a kind, sweet, generous man. Jim's wrestling career enabled him to travel the country with his family, a luxury unaffordable on a teacher's salary. Jim and I met for the first time at a meet-and-greet where I showed him a dozen photos I had snapped at the Boston Garden back in the 1960's. Since he had saved very little memorabilia, I sent him copies of the photos, along with a pile of wrestling magazines with feature stories about him. We talked by phone many times over the years, even considering having a small side business together. Just three years ago, Cathy and I spent some time with him when he came to NH. He proudly told us about his faith in Jesus Christ and the peace and serenity he got from being a believer. He is now in the comfort of his creator, may he rest in eternal peace.

Rusev and Lana are on Jericho's podcast today.

Very good interview.

I have it downloaded...hoping to get to it this weekend. Is Lana using her terrible Natasha accent?

No they're both out of character.

Just read about the Rock calling CM Punk from the ring followong Raw. Any chance that is a hint of a possible comeback?

Probably not while the lawsuit is still going on.

Yeah good point. Just hopeful. I know he is buddies with samoa joe too. They could use the boost from someone as popular as punk

I like to think The Rock did that just to troll Vince in the back. Which to be fair is something I'd be tempted to do too if I was in his position.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Prichard's podcast on Houston wrestling this week was very good.

Yeah it was.

I was stunned as to how good, especially because I didn't really care about it going in.

I wonder how much trouble this is going to get him in professionally. He seemed to be literally set up to take over for Mauro, who, from what I've heard, is leaving to go back to MMA announcing.

I just finished the Why Bruce was Fired podcast.

It was, meh.

I'll keep trying Pritchard. Conrad Thompson sounds like he's gobbling cock whenever he opens his mouth, and its grating.
