Corunna 6/24 |
I would like to start this weeks column with a very sad note, as I have lost another in my wrestling family of friends. Rod Phillips passed away on July 2 following a massive stroke at his home on June 23. Rod was in charge of security at the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Kansas. I had spent some time with him just last year on a trip to Kansas City to see Lord Littlebrook and other friends. Rod and I spent many evenings on the phone talking, sometimes for an hour at a time. He will always be remembered for being there for me when I needed him at ringside. Rest in Peace, my friend.--Percival |
I am not very sure of what transpired after receiving yet another Hall of Fame award at the card in Corunna, Michigan on June 24. I say that because of what happened to me at the hands of Bull Wheeler from Bay City, Michigan. I have asked my friend Mark Bujan to relate the rest of the story to you, as I am having some problems typing. Thank you, Mark, for stepping up to the plate for me this week. Here are his words from the Wrestling Beat Update This card from top to bottom was filled with great wrestling. Fans wanted more action as some refused to leave the Arena after the final bout. This card also featured many surprises and a couple of LWA debuts, as well as the formation of the LWA Hall of Fame. That Hall of Fame, from time to time during the year, will induct more great Wrestlers, Managers, Promoters, and Writers. So, let's take a look at what went down in Corunna, Michigan Saturday night, June 24, 2006. * Fans got to see the LWA debut of a couple new wrestlers. A new big man hit Corunna; he is Marshall Law, the nephew of former wrestling superstar "Big Boss Man." Marshall Law is a big man, standing a good 66 and hits the scales at just under 500 Pounds. He is in the LWA to impose law and order if needed. Steve Rau & Mark Bujan traveled to Dodge City, Kansas two times to sign this big masked man, Marshall Law. It was rumored that Percival A. Friend was taking some special interest in this huge man from Ford County, Kansas. * Also making his LWA debut was Tommy Titus. After weeks of working out contract details, he has inked a deal with LWA. Tommy Titus is one of the most underrated wrestlers around. His match with LWA Champion Rastakhan was just about five out of five stars; you will be seeing a lot of great stuff from Tommy Titus in the future.
**** PERCIVAL A. FRIEND INDUCTED INTO ****
