gatling Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) I'm glad I was able to go to CWF Legends FanFest in November to have the chance meet, shake hands with, and get my picture taken with Rocky Johnson. He talked about his career for 90 minutes in a special event to start the day and was there for the dinner while JJ Dillon and Barry Windham spoke, with Rocky adding a story or two then as well. RIP Soul Man. Anyone that's going to Wrestlemania should check out the three events Barry Rose of the Breaking Kayfabe Podcast(and CWF historian) and David Penzer are putting on. Among them is a sitdown discussion between Ron Fuller and Bob Roop over the Plan B tape and the Roop, Bob Orton Jr., Great Malenko, and Ronnie Garvin leaving the Knoxville territory.

He was legitimately one of the scariest looking dudes in wrestling ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Just heard that CZW legend Justice Pain passed away tonight. He helped build the company to what CZW was from 2000 to 2002. Not sure if the Cage of Death match would be as strong as it became without his matches against Lobo and Wifebeater. in 2002 he was one of the top east coast indie guys. If you would have told people who would be a bigger star Nick Gage or Justice Pain nobody would have thought Gage would be it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) The best live wrestling show I went to when I was in high school was CZW Cage of Death 6. Easily. But with every passing year that card becomes more cursed. It's now an even tie between current WWE employees and the tragically deceased. Chris Ca$h, JC Bailey, Nate Hatred, Spyral (Nick Kaplan), Larry Sweeney, and now Justice Pain, lost to us at the mean age of 33. Edited January 25, 2020 by John E.

#BlueJustice Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Damn, I hadn't heard the name Justice Pain in a while, this sucks to be why I heard it tonight. Rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorcycle accident, brain injuries and such, car accident, paralysis complications, suicide and suicide. Sad. Also, I believe his name was Brandon Kaplan.

BrianS81177 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Man, Rip Oliver vs Billy Jack Haynes was a hell of a feud in the Portland territory. May he rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 They did a good chat about him on Breaking Kayfabe this week. They said he was probably too nice a guy in real life to be the kind of super over heel he would need to be to have been a bigger star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Too soon? Another Portland guy who never quite got his heat back after jobbing to death during his WWF run. RIP Crippler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 For those that don't know, Franz Van Buyten's son is Daniel Van Buyten, a former famous soccer player for Bayern Munich (with whom he won the Champions League) and Belgium. I've see it argued that Daniel is the most famous non wrestling child of a wrestler and it's hard to argue otherwise. RIP. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I first saw Oliver in Dallas managed by Cornette and occassionally getting to team with the MX, so that may color my opinions of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSJ Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Like I said on Wrestling Classics, Rip was one of those guys that made everyone around him seem better. And as has been said, away from the ring a true credit to his species , one of the nicest guys to walk the face of the earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
