and there's even a ringer piece in the can for when lars sullivan ever debuts, if he debuts, though i'm hoping (hoping is the wrong word, maybe expecting) to do a "superstar" billy graham obit for them this year :/

i mean, plus the usual run of other wrestler obits for ringer, essays extracting some deeper cultural meaning from some otherwise merely sad or "oh how bout that, i remember them" moments

Its amazing that Superstar still walks among the living. I'm not chanting for his passing, of course. It is a shame that his bitterness leaves him unable to act as an grandfather-type to the present crop of wrestlers. Kowalski, Koloff, even Bruno came around. PS-Ivan needs in HOF

SBG has mended fences a few times, then tears them down again. Given his horrible health, it's no wonder he descends frequently into grandiloquence and wild rants reminiscent of his old promos. And sorry I didn't get to do an Ivan obit, since he lived near my folks in NC
