Memories of The Great One, Jack Brisco

Just after losing wrestling’s greatest friend (Georgie Makropoulos), today we’ve lost its modern-day greatest athlete with those amazing amateur credentials of his that Kurt Angle told me in 2001, “blow me away. This guy was and will always be an incredible talent.”
.
My radio show partner Evan Ginzburg who lived mere blocks from Georgie, came up with calling her wrestling’s Den Mother. That couldn’t be truer, as she touched everyone’s life in the business. From the top, top stars; the McMahon and Carter families more recently to nearly all fans.

Looking Back On Lebell
Photos and Text By Dr. Mike Lano
I just received a ton of sad phone calls that my former longtime promoter boss, our area pro-wrestling promoter for the entire So. California wrestling territory, Mike LeBell passed away Tuesday afternoon, 11/24/09 at 3:50 p.m. PDT of apparent respiratory failure in Los Angeles. Mike had been hospitalized a few times this year for lung and heart problems and e-mailed me last spring that he’d been in ill health and “just didn’t feel that great.” He wasn’t able to take his daily walk the way he always said he enjoyed doing to get out in the sun.
