 Mike Bieszck, better known as “Piss Jug Mike,” has died after a short battle with cancer. “Piss Jug Mike” was from Detroit, Michigan and became a famous fan in a number of promotions. However, he grew to become more than just a fan and actually developed a great relationship with a number of wrestlers, including Malcolm Monroe II. |

RIP to Piss Jug Mike. I have seen him in the crowd on some GCW shows from Atlantic City.

 The Legendary British Promoter Max Crabtree Passes Away Former British wrestling promoter Max Crabtree has passed away. The retired British wrestler and promoter was 90 years old. He is the real-life brother of the legendary British wrestler Big Daddy and referee and MC Brian Crabtree. Crabtree helped to promote a number of wrestlers including Dynamite Kid, Davey Boy Smith, William Regal and George Kidd. He spent forty years as a wrestling promoter and was highly regarded in the British wrestling industry for his booking skills. Crabtree would often come under criticism for building Joint Promotions around Big Daddy, leading to allegations of nepotism. WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart commented in his autobiography that Max Crabtree would also "wave a few extra quid in a wrestler's face" to entice them to take Daddy's "double elbow" backdrop move. The photo attached to this report shows the three brothers starting out.  |

 WCPW(Chicago) announcer Mr Bill Robinette passed away ........ I tend to not read this thread because it's depressing, but I came here to pay my respects to Bushwhacker Butch. And now I see "the round mound of sound" passed away in Match and I'd be remiss if I didn't say a word about Windy City announcer Bill Robinette. He was a great ring announcer and a well known Santa Claus, even portraying the jolly fat man at the White House on several occasions in the late 2000s. |
