Tribute: RD Reynolds’ Favorite Bobby Heenan Moment

48 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Wed, 27 September 2017, 20:00

I’ve written about it before, but whenever I go through a rough patch in life, I turn to Prime Time Wrestling. To those outside of our little hobby/business/sport whatever you want to call it, that has to sound completely bizarre. What kind of person, what kind of man, would focus on pro wrestling when life starts throwing hard curveballs? Is that Continue Reading...

Merle Vincent Griggs Tribute

11 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Tue, 08 August 2017, 02:00

Even though it’s been years since his death, it’s still hard for me to believe that Merle Vincent Griggs is no longer with us. Merle loved pro wrestling – in fact, he promoted the first and likely only NWA Indianapolis event, which featured such stars as Dan Severn, Buddy Landell, and many others. He even gave me the opportunity to Continue Reading...

“Earthquake” John Tenta Tribute

33 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Wed, 22 June 2016, 02:00

June 22, 1963 – June 7, 2006 John Tenta was my friend. Actually, let me rephrase that – John Tenta was our friend, a friend to everyone who ever visited this site. He was probably a friend to everyone he ever met. He was a good, good man, one to whom I owe a debt of gratitude that I can never fully Continue Reading...

TRIBUTE: RIP Harry Simon

I just learned of the passing of one of the longtime members of the WrestleCrap family, Harry Simon. For the longtime WrestleCrap Radio listeners, Harry portrayed the role of my longtime rival on the Continue Reading...

Roddy Piper with RD Reynolds and Blade Braxton!

4 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Sat, 01 August 2015, 00:43

Truly one of the greatest moments of my life. Here’s a link to when I was somehow a guest on Piper’s Pit. Still can’t believe it. Thank you…no, THANK YA, Roddy. And I’d be remiss to not post when Roddy invaded WrestleCrap Radio in a completely unscripted, unplanned, and altogether awesome event. You can access that here! And if you Continue Reading...

RIP Roddy Piper

42 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Fri, 31 July 2015, 19:58

I am absolutely devastated to learn that Roddy Piper has passed away. Truly one of my favorite wrestlers ever. One of the greatest moments not of my little wrestling career but of my entire life was being on his podcast a few months ago…after he did a run-in on WrestleCrap Radio a few years prior. Just so so sad. Leave Continue Reading...

In memory of The Ultimate Warrior. June 16, 1959 – April 8, 2014.

59 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 09 April 2014, 00:29

We always like to make people laugh here at WrestleCrap but sadly this is something serious. WWE reports that The Ultimate Warrior has passed away at the age of 54. We’ve featured Warrior a lot over the years here on WrestleCrap and we’ve done that largely in part because he was always such an entertaining, charismatic man who gave it his Continue Reading...

WrestleCrap Remembers Nelson Frazier, Best Known as Mabel, Viscera, and Big Daddy V

12 Submitted by Justin Henry on Wed, 19 February 2014, 01:15

It’s been reported, most notably by his former Men on a Mission tag team partner Mo, that Nelson Frazier has passed away, days after his 43rd birthday. Early reports are that Frazier succumbed to a massive heart attack. Frazier, of course, had a few memorable runs through WWE in the nineties and 2000s, with his pinnacle being a victory Continue Reading...

In Memory of Mae Young, a Story

18 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Tue, 14 January 2014, 23:46

WrestleCrap is saddened to learn of the death of Mae Young, who passed away this morning at the age of 90. We had the honor of inducting her for several ‘comedy’ skits over the year, but even I (RD) have to give her props for not only being incredibly tough, but…well, yes, I will admit it…she made me laugh Continue Reading...

RIP Paul Bearer

34 Submitted by Justin Henry on Wed, 06 March 2013, 08:00

We’ll leave the Curtain Jerker title off today, and instead give full billing to a man who’s had quite a career in professional wrestling. William Moody, either as Paul Bearer or Percy Pringle III, was a unique character in a business full of them, standing out even when surrounded by larger-than-life monsters. Feel free to share some of your Continue Reading...

Tribute: Andre the Giant

11 Submitted by Justin Henry on Sun, 27 January 2013, 10:00

I remember being scared of Andre as a child. In the summer of 1989, my Ninja Turtles and Legos, my Batman and my Double Dare, they all would get back-burnered in favor of something my brother Josh dragged me into. I wasn’t kicking and screaming when I got my first taste of World Wrestling Federation action, nor was I willing Continue Reading...

Bryan Alvarez and RD Reynolds announced today on Figure Four Daily that they have signed a deal with ECW Press to write a newly-expanded 10-year anniversary edition of the 2005 Wrestling Observer Newsletter Book of the Year, “The Death of WCW”. The original manuscript was significantly larger than the final product, largely due to the wrestling book market being significantly smaller at the time. Nearly Continue Reading...
