That sucks. I know 75 is like living to 104 in wrestler years, but all the same, that's rough.

Damn, this one hurts. Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas losing the tag titles to Dick Murdoch and Adrian Adonis was the first match I really remember seeing that got me into wrestling. And I loved him standing up to Piper on Piper's Pit. I really wanted him to take it to Piper.

One of my earliest memories of āmarking outā was when Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas defeated The Wild Samoans for the WWF tag belts.
I was so hyper nobody could understand the excitement of what I was talking about.
RIP Rocky.

RIP. He had a much more successful career than many may realize.
He had been in the news recently over a major fall-out with Scott Teal over a biography that was set to come out about his life. Press copies have gotten out, but before Rocky passed away it looked like the book project might be cancelled over disagreements.

Dammit 2019, you ended 2 weeks ago.
But really, RIP. And looking it at how Rock is probably, it hits home cause this is the five year anniversary of when my dad passed.

And I hope his passing doesn't open the way for that book to come out anyway. I know what posthumous biographies can do.
