Pour one out for my homies. Now you're making me cry.

 

World Class was top flight for a short run. The wars the Von Erichs had with Gino Hernandez-Chris Adams and The Freebirds were awesome

 

Amazingly, that photo contains the only one left.

 

The picture that was in the thread at the old place of Matt, Percy, and Buzz was excellent. OE, you remember where you found that?

 

Not off hand, let me bs around and I will find it.

 

Brother, is this it?

 

Yes. Awesome.

 

I wonder how many recognize percy?

 

That's a guy who has had a magnificent career.

 

He's been around Damn near 40 years hasn't he?

 

My memory goes back 30+ and I can't remember a time when he wasn't around.

 

...Youtube is about as close as you will get.

Brad Armstrong passed today at 51.

Former WCW Star Brad Armstrong Passes Away | Bleacher Report

 

A shame....too young. Had the body, had the ability, but lacked the charisma. Looked like a star.

 

If he had his father's charisma, he would have been WCW's answer to Hennig.

 

Another Lexington, TN treasure. Forgot it has been that long since he died.

Also owned a really nasty strip club off exit 126 on i 40.

 

In a Theater of the Absurd moment I'm sure Hot Stuff loved, he wrestled a bear in Puerto Rico the night he passed away. That led to one of the most tragicomedic things I've ever seen on TV. 20/20 did their typical wrestlers dying too young story. Missy Hyatt, at that point Eddie's ex wife, was interviewed and began tearfully wailing "Why did he have to wrestle the bear? Why? Why?" I have to think it's the kind of demise Eddie would have wanted.

 

I have no doubt in my mind he went just as he would have wanted to.
