• Old School WWF Legend Celebrates His Birthday
Old School WWF Attitude Era Legend Shane McMahon celebrates his birthday today.
He is the son of famous World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) promoter Vince McMahon Jr., as well as the brother of Stephanie McMahon and the brother-in-law of Old School Wrestling Legend “The Game” Triple H.
Shane started as an occasional part time pro-wrestler in 1999 and still wrestles nowadays from time to time.
He’s known to be more like a trained stuntman, than an actual wrestler though, so when you watch a match that features him, you can expect to see at least 1 OMG-bump.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANE-O-MAC!

• Old School WWF Veteran Celebrates His Birthday
Old School WWF Veteran Bull Buchanan (Real name: Barry Buchanan) celebrates his birthday today.
Buchanan first joined the World Wrestling Federation in 1997 as Recon, a member of The Truth Commission.
After the faction disbanded in 1998, Recon continued to tag with his Truth Commission comrade Sniper for a few weeks and together they were known as ‘Armageddon’.
In 2000 he returned as Bull Buchanan and teamed with WWF Legend The Big Boss Man for a while before joining Stevie Richards’ heel stable ‘Right to Censor’.
The last we have seen of him as an active pro wrestler was when he (then known as B2) accompanied John Cena to the ring in late 2002 and early 2003 , before being released from the company.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BULL BUCHANAN!

• Old School Wrestling Legend Would Have Celebrated His Birthday
Today would have been the birthday of Old School Wrestling Legend Eddie Graham (Real name: Edward Gossett).
Most people remember him for being the ‘Championship Wrestling from Florida’ (CWF) promoter from 1971 till he committed suicide in 1985.
Unfortunately his son, Old School Wrestling Veteran Mike Graham (in 2012) and his grandson (in 2010) committed suicide in a similar way as him.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY & REST IN PEACE
January 15, 1930 – January 21, 1985

• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (January 15, 2017) – Old School WWF Legend Passed Away
On this day in 2017, we lost Old School WWF Legend ‘Superfly’ Jimmy Snuka (Real name: James Reiher Snuka) at the age of 73 due to terminal illness.
Let’s make one thing perfectly clear, the guy was a great legend and a very deserving WWE Hall of Famer (which contrary to false online reports, he still is for a fact) and whether he was actually guilty of murdering his 1983 girlfriend Nancy Argentino, we will never know.
Don’t believe for one second, that just because you read stuff in a book (written by Pro-Wrestling-Hater Irvin Muchnik), on social media or in dirt-sheets, that you have the same knowledge, that a federal judge would have needed a fair & extensive trial to get it. That’s not possible in any way, shape or form whatsoever.
Did he do it? It does look like he did it, but we will never know for sure. Period. We rather stick with the facts here, as opposed to believe rumors, opinions & biased reports.
So with that being said, let’s please remember him for the great Wrestling Legend that he was on TV.
R.I.P. JIMMY SNUKA!

• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (January 15, 2020) – Old School Wrestling Legend Passed Away
On this day in 2020, we lost Old School WWF Legend ‘Soul Man’ Rocky Johnson at the age of 75.
Rocky Johnson wrestled for many different territories from his debut in 1964 until his retirement in 1991, but was most famous for his 1982-1985 run with the World Wrestling Federation, where he and Tony Atlas became the first black Tag Team to win a major World Tag Team Championship.
Nowadays everyone knew him as the father of the #1 actor in Hollywood, fellow WWF Legend “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson.
It was also The Rock, who inducted his dad into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008.
REST IN PEACE ROCKY JOHNSON!
