• Old School Wrestling Legend Celebrates His Birthday
Old School NWA-WWF-WCW Legend Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat (Real name: Richard Blood) celebrates his 65th birthday today.
Over the years Steamboat wrestled in quite a few of what are now considered to be among the best matches in wrestling history, against opponents like “The Macho Man” Randy Savage, “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair & “Ravishing” Rick Rude.
After becoming a star in Jim Crockett Promotions during the 70s & early/mid 80s, he basically jumped back and forth between the World Wrestling Federation (1985-1988 and 1991) and Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling (1989 and 1991-1994).
His last big matches were against “Y2J” Chris Jericho, in a Handicap Elimination match at ‘WrestleMania 25’ and in a singles match at ‘Backlash 2009’.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICKY STEAMBOAT!

It should be noted that Cena’s match could get changed, as he won’t be able to appear on WWE programming until the WrestleMania 35 week itself (as he’s filming a movie) and there have also been rumors that he could face Kurt Angle in Angle’s retirement match.
Also, WWE officials have begun discussing plans for Roman Reigns’ WrestleMania 35 match. We’ll keep you updated regarding Reigns’ opponent.
