very sad to hear about the death of Danny Havoc I got to meet Danny Havoc twice- once at CZW's Tournament of Death 2014 thanks to my friend Lyle Williams (whose own passing happened almost exactly one year ago) and then once again in Cleveland at Galacticon 2015. The Nation of Intoxication vs OI4K and Mad Man Pondo was my favorite match that Saturday night at the show at the Galacticon hotel. RIP |

AND ANOTHER  Cheon Gyu-deok, One of Korea’s Early Wrestling Stars, Passes Away at 88 Cheon Gyu-deok was part of the first great wave of pro wrestling in South Korea, that saw the formation of Korea’s top promotion, Korean Wrestling Association (KWA) in 1961. Founded by Kintarō Ōki, a Korean wrestler who had trained under Rikidōzan (a Korean who had moved to Japan to become the godfather of Japanese puroresu), Ōki returned to his native Korea and competed as Kim Il, “The Headbutt Master”. Cheon Gyu-deok was part of a class of wrestlers that included the likes of “Super Dragon” Lee Wang-pyo, Yeo Geon-bu, and many others, who helped usher in professional wrestling into the country. Sadly, infighting between promoters, particularly between Kim Il and Chang Yong-chol (the man responsible for helping kickstart pro wrestling in Korea, and by the mid-1970s, pro wrestling had fallen out of favor in Korea. |
