I was just annoying coworkers with his “doot-doot-doot-do-do-do” music last week, what the gently caress dude is such a gem, hell of a loss.

26 is crazy young to pass away  I don't watch British wrestling and am unfamiliar with him, is he the wrestler that Will Ospreay demolished with the ugliest elbow strikes to the back of the head I've ever seen a couple years back?

I loving scrutinized that clip 50 times in a row, and could not see anything else than Osprey shooting so brutally on that poor rookie that he ought to be in prison for the remainder of his natural life. Incredible performance by both guys there. RIP Kurt.

Aw, man. https://twitter.com/PWInsidercom/status/1749876831812030964 Loved Ice Train and Fire & Ice. What a bummer. DDP posted this on Instagram: quote:It was so Sad to hear, that one of my closest brothers is gone. Harold Houge aka H aka Ice Train aka Smooth was a warrior and one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. Our 30 year relationship was filled with laughter & brotherhood. We were always there for each other. Our families are one family. One of my fondest memories was the Christmas the two of us headed into the inner city to help many of the less fortunate families have a better Christmas. As you can see we got on our favorite Christmas outfits and headed out to spread some cheer. I’ve also included one my favorite pictures of H & my mom Sylvia at Payge’s & my wedding. I will put up a tribute video up later next week. I just don’t have the strength to do it yet.

https://x.com/actwresgirlz/status/1754354980985950655?s=20 The Japanese women's wrestler Asahi has died. Seems like a car accident. She was only 21, debuted for Ice Ribbon at 14, & joined Actwres girlZ last year. She was a really promising young wrestler & 21 is no age to die.

Everything I ever heard about Ole was like "Oh, he's the meanest human being who ever lived. Always put himself first and protected his power at all costs. Really great guy!" It's not normal.

I found out Ole died because a 2 year old tweet I had made tangentially about him suddenly got retweets and likes this morning. https://twitter.com/mrbling/status/1517546165130174464

The only nice thing I will say about Ole is he wasn't completely wrong about Mick and how not only would his style of wrestling destroy him, but people would grow innundated to it. Actually no he was wrong. People still pop for stuff as simple as people going through tables. Also Mick's style practically defined the style of the hottest period of wrestling history soooooo yeah. And Mick didn't even wind up in a wheelchair at 30. His brains are scrambled but people knew dick about how damaging concussions were back then.

The one thing you can give Ole is he hated Vince enough to never work for him. That's basically it

It loving sucks, and wrestling training is fortunately less barbaric overall than the old days but it's got a long way to go.

only thing about ole i remember is in foley's first book he mentioned that after vader beat the poo poo out of him in that infamous match guys backstage were ribbing ole and asking him if he got hard since he liked stiff poo poo so much also that he was the voice for the shockmaster

As a set of fresh eyes to wrestling and having only really watched old JCP and early WCW and not knowing much about behind the scenes stuff I can say this: Ole was an all time great
