OSJ Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Izzy (Jeff) was a great guy and he will be very much missed. We didn't agree all the time on wrestling, but the dude knew his shit, and I don't give that up easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Was Rene Goulet's passing ever acknowledged by WWE? Either on television or .com? Would seem weird to me if it wasn't, being a long-time employee well after the in-ring stuff ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Luchaworld has an excellent obit up for Niebla. It makes his passing even sadder because he was clearly well-loved by everyone who worked with him... not a shit-heel by any stretch of the imagination but a good guy with a family who was fully aware of his issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they thought his family did not want anything like that considering that it took more than half a year to get out. Thinking about it, that sounds very likely as I am sure that they knew about his passing for quite some time and did not report it anywhere themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 For some reason I thought it was posted here already, but former UPW and PWG ring announcer Jon Ian passed away over the weekend. It was nice to see him get shout-outs from Excalibur on Dynamite and The Bump by Kevin Owens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Meltzer puts over Firpo as Randy Savage before Randy Savage. Hugely influential even if his name isn't as well known as others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Yes the one in TNA for a match or two was La Parka. It kind of feels strange that about half of the people that are mourning him thinks that he was the guy in WCW.

AxB Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 This is the guy who founded Big Japan and trained Honma and Yamakawa, right? Rest in Peace to him. He had a pretty good 'broken down veteran doing deathmatches with rookies' run for a while there. So two wrestlers pass away the same day who both have the "Not that one, the other one with the same name" deal. If these things come in threes, I hope Mr Electricity Steve Regal is careful this week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
