hammerva 5,140 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) As unfortunate as it seemed, Tracy Smothers has passed way this morning. He was fighting a very hard battle for the last 2 years Right now in Heaven, the divorce rate has skyrocketed. I would argue he deserves his own thread and that isn't even for his SMW and WCW work.

Happ Hazzard 567 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Very sad to hear this. I met Tracy and spoke to him for about 20 minutes or so at the first 1PW show in Doncaster, England about 15 years ago. Very nice guy. Link to post Share on other sites
Greggulator 3,429 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 The FBI in ECW is one of the all-time best ridiculous gimmicks. I used to love them unfurling the Italian flag with Tommy "Wildfire" Rich's face in the middle of it. Their promos at Philly landmarks associated with our vast Italian-American community were also the stuff of legend. 9 Link to post Share on other sites
Hagan 1,544 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) HOLY SHIT GREGG, I came here to mention that! Tracy was an all-time Southern legend and an all-around great performer. That tag with the Midnights is a contender for best tag match of the decade. Tracy also taught us all what THUG stands for and for that I thank him. Edited October 28, 2020 by Hagan t is for terrible, h is for hell, u is for ugly and g is for jail cause a thug can't spell. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
bobholly138 467 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I was lucky enough to meet Tracy Smothers 2 times. First time he was doing a surprise run in,dressed like a woman,at a Memphis Legends show in Lula MS. Got a pic with him that night but it is so blurry. Then in 2015 or 2016 we were filming and doing commentary for a Wrestle Birmingham show. During the middle of a match Tracy came out of the locker room and sat at the commentary table with us for a match. So snagged a quick picture with him. Dude was so damn nice and just laid back country boy style. Link to post Share on other sites

hammerva 5,140 Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 I tried to find the video but to me nothing explains Tracy Smothers in his indie days that IWA Mid South Bloodfeast 2002 and his riot. Here is a blog I found explaining the incident http://whiskeyandwrestling.blogspot.com/2012/09/you-think-im-fake-i-aint-fake-ill-tear.html 1 Link to post Share on other sites
