Notice it’s all anti-Trump with the Dums?
They never cite why they’re pro-Kamala, or why they’d vote for her, aside from their hate for orange man.
Most folks are too smart for their bullshit. But some continue to wear vagina hats and act like they’re a frickin’ cat or dog.
Ole Anderson had few peers in wrestling. He was tough as nails, could handle himself in any situation. Brutally honest, which offended some. Endeared him to others. An incredible mind for the wrestling business. I'm proud to say he was my friend, and I loved him for all the
Vince McMahon tried his best to ruin Starrcade '83, the predecessor of Wrestlemania. He lured Hulk Hogan away from the show, and tried to do the same with Harley Race. But Harley said no.
Harley Race was a man of honor and integrity, and he earned the respect of everyone!
Very sorry to hear of Jackie Crockett’s passing this evening. The youngest of Jim Crockett Sr.’s children, he will be missed by all those that knew him. Every single interaction I ever had with the man was very pleasant, very cordial, even when he called the cops on me one night

My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Leon White, known the world over as Big Van Vader, who passed away Monday evening. One of the all-time greats! Go rest high on that mountain, sir. Rest in peace.
I’m in Raleigh NC today and got together with my former TBS partner David Crockett and the longtime voice of Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling, Bob Caudle. My fandom of watching wrestling began with David and Bob behind the mic.

and the Carolinas get a punch in the gut. Wrestling would never be quite the same for those that grew up watching Crockett-promoted Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling and the NWA.
I grew up watching wrestling in the
#Charlotte
Coliseum, and Park Center before that! Those are very special places for me. I'm sure everyone has similar fond memories about the arenas they grew up in.
I support Trump because...
1. Anti-abortion
2. Lower taxes/decreased regulation
3. Pro-2nd amendment
4. Pro-police & military
5. Saving US from illegals
6. Brought manufacturing back
7. Brought jobs back
8. Draining the swamp
And I’m better off than I was 4 years ago!

I miss what we once had. I don't begrudge anyone for supporting wrestling now. It's the only wrestling you know, and I get that. Some say we have Vince to thank for wrestling. I believe we have him to blame for what wrestling has become. No arguing, folks. Talk, listen, learn 📌
