Former WWE Wrestler (Who Is Now City Commissioner of Longwood District 4) Comments On Rich Swann’s Arrest & Suspension, Another WWE Hall of Famer Undergoes Knee Replacement Surgery, JYD Birthday

• Old School WWF Legend Would Have Celebrated His Birthday

Today would have been the 65th birthday of Old School WWF Legend The Junkyard Dog (Real name: Sylvester Ritter).

After becoming a huge Territory Star in Bill Watts’ Mid-South Wrestling, JYD joined the World Wrestling Federation in 1984 and jumped ship to WCW in December of 1988, just a few day after Ted Turner bought Jim Crockett Promotions and renamed it.

The Junkyard Dog’s last major Pro Wrestling appearance came 1 month before he passed away, when he was involved in an in-ring segment at ECW Wrestlepalooza 1998.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY & R.I.P.
December 13, 1952 – June 2, 1998

• Former WWE Wrestler (Who Is Now City Commissioner of Longwood District 4) Comments On Rich Swann’s Arrest & Suspension

Former WWE Wrestler and now the City Commissioner of Longwood District 4, Matt Morgan, was interviewed by FOX 35 regarding the arrest of WWE Cruiserweight wrestler Rich Swann.

Below is what Morgan said:

“A lot of these times when you see these types of situations when one of these guys get arrested for anything kind of violent, I’m always very surprised by it, because, even though that’s what we do as entertainment, it’s the complete opposite of the spectrum as to how were are in real life.

Recalling when he met him while an enhancement talent, Morgan said that Swann was “always really talented and really athletic,” and it’s “a real shame that he had anything to do with something like this. What I would tell that young boy watching at home is that it’s not okay.

It’s not okay to put your hands on a female, it’s not okay to put your hands on anybody for that matter.”
