• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (May 13, 2000) – Old School Wrestling Veteran Passed Away
On this day in 2000, we lost Old School Wrestling Veteran Jumbo Tsuruta (Real name: Tomomi Tsuruta) at the age of 49 due to complications from kidney transplant.
As an Amateur Greco-Roman Wrestler Tsuruta competed in the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany, before becoming a professional wrestler, who worked for Giant Baba’s All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) among several other territories.
The highlight of his career was without a doubt becoming the AWA World Heavyweight Champion by defeating Nick Bockwinkel on February 23, 1984.
† REST IN PEACE JUMBO TSURUTA!
March 25, 1951 – May 13, 2000
• Becky Lynch Confirms She’s Dating Seth Rollins
We noted before WrestleMania 35 that Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch are the newest real-life couple in WWE.
They appeared at the WWE Hall of Fame 2019 ceremony together and have appeared together at some other events as well.
However, they never officially announced that they are now dating and Rollins refused to comment anything on this relationship during a recent interview.
This has now changed as RAW & SmackDown Women’s Champion “The Man” Becky Lynch openly announced during a Twitter exchange with Beth Phoenix & Edge that she’s now with Universal Champion Seth Rollins.
You can check out the Twitter exchange between Becky, Beth & Edge below:
No worries @BeckyLynchWWE …I’m just glad that we are friends and not steaming over a silly little detail like being tied for number of title reigns. Cheers! https://t.co/ypXjz2ZQkT

Listen The Man, you’re doing good for yourself now kid. But we can all find the footage of your steampunk phase, with a familiar entrance where you attempt Edge lite. And fail. Sooooo begone with you. https://t.co/O6BaWb99Ac

Yeah, no, you’re right, Edgester. They want me to be nicer on social and I forgot. On this day, I see clearly.
Everything has come to life. Pals?— The Man (@BeckyLynchWWE) May 12, 2019
