• Old School Wrestling Veteran Celebrates His Birthday
Old School Wrestling Veteran Crowbar aka Devon Storm (Real name: Christopher Ford) celebrates his birthday today.
After some time in Paul Heyman’s Extreme Championship Wrestling during the mid-90s, Storm joined the World Wrestling Federation in 1997 as part of their new ‘Light Heavyweight’ division, before joining Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling in 1999.
In WCW he was most famous for teaming up with “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair’s son David Flair and they were joined by crazy valet Daffney.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CROWBAR!

• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (March 4, 2019) – Old School WWF Legend Passed Away
On this day in 2019, we lost Old School WWF Legend & WrestleMania 2 Main Eventer King Kong Bundy (Real name: Christopher Pallies) at the age of 63, due to complications from diabetes.
King Kong Bundy wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation from 1985 till 1988 and again from 1994 to 1995, but later continued to wrestle on the independent scene until he retired in 2006.
The highlight of his professional wrestling career was without a shadow of a doubt, main eventing WWF WrestleMania 2 against World Champion “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan in a Steel Cage.
King Kong Bundy has yet to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, which they failed on doing while he was still alive, similar to another big man, Big Van Vader, who also passed away without being inducted (which is obviously going to happen in the future).
Bundy guest-starred in 2 episodes of the legendary comedy series “Married with children”.
REST IN PEACE KING KONG BUNDY!
November 7, 1955 – March 4, 2019

• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (March 4, 2010) – Old School Wrestling Legend Passed Away
On this day in 2010, we lost Old School Wrestling Legend Angelo Poffo at the age of 84 due to natural causes.
Poffo was a professional wrestler during the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s, as well as the promoter of International Championship Wrestling (ICW), but the thing Angelo was most famous for, was by far being the father of WWF Legend “The Macho Man” Randy Savage and WWF Veteran “The Genius” Lanny Poffo.
In 1995 he was inducted into the short-lived WCW Hall of Fame, but has yet to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, which is probably going to happen as part of their annual ‘Legacy Wing’ inductions.
REST IN PEACE ANGELO POFFO
April 10, 1925 – March 4, 2010
