I'm so glad you ...That is a great story, Mary. I'm so glad you shared it. So many of the original pro wrestlers were kind, caring people like this, I'm sure. I saw the Crusher and few other old-schoolers at a hockey game a number of years ago, and since I still lived in the Milwaukee area (as did the Crusher), I'd listen to him reminisce on local radio.Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623810021177960310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781586185594177386.post-14872788171801616582009-10-17T10:02:45.617-04:002009-10-17T10:02:45.617-04:00well- sadly for me I have a personal 'wrestlin...well- sadly for me I have a personal 'wrestling' story to relate...<br />as a kid, my dad (and so my brothers and I) watched wrestling out of Chicago on WGN when all the 'greats' were in their prime.<br />Years and years later my kids and I moved into a lovely home in another town and met one of our neighbors one day. He was a big man to be sure, aging, but I could tell he'd been an athlete. He waved often and once helped me jump start my car.<br />As he stood there, jumper cables in hand, I asked him if I should know him. He never looked up but smirked a bit and said, I think you're too young to know me.<br />It was Dick the Bruiser...and he died just a few years later of a heart attack.<br />One of the nicest men I'd ever met.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01915937002599448896noreply@blogger.com
