RIP DEAN RASMUSSEN


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Oh jeez, this was sad news to find out about after popping back in here for the first time in months. I still fondly remember Teddy Long's peanut head from the Smackdown Comix. HOLLA HOLLA

Like others have said in here, it was nice to get a thanks or an encouraging comment from him on a post, and I remember when there was briefly a Euro promotions folder here, I started a thread posting updates from the Irish scene and he posted a reply saying "This right here is why I'm glad I created this folder". I never kept up with it, but that was very nice. 

He seemed like a great guy and I can't remember him ever getting into wars of words with other posters. He just focused on the fun aspects of wrestling.

Condolences to those who knew him well.

Oh man.

I wasn't even aware that DEAN~! passed away. 😞

It's crazy that his writings on the old forum was what brought me to this site while I was still in high school.

His exquisite musical taste got me turned on to a lot of bands - Roxy Music, Joy Division, The Gun Club, The Cramps, The Posies, I could go on.

One thing that struck me about Dean's writings with wrestling matches is how well they describe what happened or at least things that stick out in a match.

I'll definitely miss him.

It's been a year today. Not a day goes by where I don't miss the big guy and his presence. I don't watch a new match without wondering what his one line thought on it in a massive stream of consciousness paragraph would have been (though, I can imagine it at least because you learned to anticipate the patterns, which is its own sort of blessing). I should have my review of the Action show going up tonight on SC. I talked to my parents this morning. Took the 6 year old to swim lesson. Am reaching out to you guys now. Nothing is assured in this life. Go say hi to your loved ones today.

Been thinking about DEAN on his one year anniversary today. Scary it's a year. I don't have the way with words. Just wanted to say I love and miss you, fella from Paul xxx.

Asa a long time member (late 90's) but rare poster I always looked forward to the wit and wisdom Dean brought to these forums as we talked about the best thing in the world. 

The world is a little darker place without Dean in it. May he rest in peace.
