From WWE.com:
Canadian wrestling legend Walter "Killer" Kowalski is currently in a rehabilitation center after injuring his knees in three separate falls. Kowalski's wife, Theresa, wants his fans to know that he is getting a little better. If you'd like to send your support in the form of a card or note, you may use the address:
Walter Kowalski P.O. Box 67 Reading, Mass. 01867
I met Kowalski in 2002 at the first hall of fame induction in Schenectedy, NY and was their that weekend with Tom. I'm going to send him a card and a dvd I made of his matches.

I almost thought this was another 'bad news' thread. I'm glad to hear (or rather read) that he's okay. He's one of my favorites from LOW.
I only have a couple of his matches on DVD, unfortunately.
Take care,
Jay

I think the only Killer Kowalski match I have on DVD is a match at Madison Square Garden from 1974 where Kowalski challenged Bruno Sammartino for the championship.
I have that match on my History of the WWE Championship DVD set.

I have these matches on dvd. I might have picked up a little bit more since doing this one but I'd have to look at my lists.
KILLER KOWALSKI Kowalski vs. Gene Stanlee (MSG) Kowalski vs. Verne Gagne (MSG) Kowalski vs. Edward Carpentier Kowalski vs. Buddy Rogers (Chicago, 2/3 Falls) Kowalski vs. Pedro Morales (WWF)
Yeah, do have some more footage of him in Japan in the '60s.

For those of you with WWE 24/7, WWE 24/7 will have some Killer Kowalski material in July because he is going to be the featured WWE Hall of Famer for that month: www.wwe.com/shows/wwe247/nextmonth/
