2012 GULF COAST WRESTLERS REUNION

2012-01-21T09:06:00.000-06:00

If you are a regular follower of my BLOG, you have certainly heard me mention our Annual Gulf Coast Wrestlers Reunion (GCWR), that we have each year here in my hometown of Mobile, Alabama. I am a member of The Board of Directors, and have been for many years. This year our gathering will take place on Friday and Saturday, March 2nd and 3rd, at The Mobile International Speedway. This year will mark our 21st Reunion. Anything that lasts 21-years can't be all bad.

If you are not familiar with The GCWR, it is a professional convention of those of us involved in the professional wrestling industry. In order to attend, you MUST be involved in the business, or retired from the ring. Please understand that we treasure the support of our fans, however unlike our big brother The Cauliflower Alley Club, we do not allow fans to attend. This brotherhood is set aside soley for those of us that have dedicated our lives, and make/made our living from pro wrestling. New applications and members are screened at the door.

If you are involved in our industry or retired, please click on this link for an application: 2012 GCWR APPLICATION We invite you to make copies of the application for any of your friends that may be interested. I promise you, if you attend one time, you will be back. Just ask someone you know that has been here before.

I will be posting more information as we draw closer to the date, and any questions may be directed to me at: PercyPringle3@PercyPringle.com

Be Blessed.

My youngest son turns 25 today...

2012-01-08T00:01:00.003-06:00

Not only is today Elvis Presley's Birthday, it is my youngest son Daniel's too. 25-years ago today, Daniel Joseph was born in Dallas, Texas while I was working with The Von Erich Family's World Class Championship Wrestling. He was 7-years younger than his older brother, and what a welcomed life changing addition he was to our little family.

This will be Daniel's third birthday without his mom, who passed away from breast cancer on January 31, 2009. I just want Daniel to know I understand how he feels today. Just remember Daniel, that your Mom loved you more than life itself, and your little Danielle was one of the many things that made her eyes sparkle. You have the best guardian angel you could have, as she is looking down on you each and every day. The biggest tribute you could give her is take care of yourself, and your girls.

Daniel wrestles on the gulf coast independent scene as "D.J. Pringle", and I have the honor of being in his corner now and then.

Wish I could be with you and your girls today, but as with many of our family celebrations through the years.... 'rasslin is calling. I'm in Los Angeles with NWA HOLLYWOOD. I'll be home tomorrow in time for The ALABAMA - LSU Championship game.

Believe it or not, Daniel and his brother are Auburn fans. Where did I go wrong? LOL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY "Tater Chip"!
Love,
~Dad

A Blessed 2012 My Friends

2011-12-31T14:07:00.003-06:00

"Be always at war with your vices,

at peace with your neighbors,

and let each New Year find you a better man."

A New Year is upon us again, my friends. We are between the past and the future; the perfect opportunity to take stock of where we've been and where we're going. We all come from different situations. We may have both parents, only one, or unfortunately maybe none. We may have a wife/husband, life partner, fiance, girlfriend/boyfriend, or like me, your loved one may have already passed away. We may have little children, or adult children with families of their own. We may have a job, or may be amongst the many unemployed of today's economy. We may have to endure so many medical issues. No matter what our situations may be as 2012 is ushered in, we all must take one more step and keep moving on. Quitting isn't an option.

I've been blessed to have traveled the world for another year, still living my boyhood dreams. My family was blessed with a new member in 2011; while at the same time we are forced each day to watch another slipping from our arms. It's a fact of life that for every blessing we recieve, we each have our own crosses to bear too.

I appreciate all of you that stay in contact with me, wether it be through my website, other social medias, and those that make an effort to come out to visit me at the wrestling events in your area. You folks are indeed the best, and a vital part of my life, and I appreciate you more than you may ever realize.

I sincerely wish that 2012 will be a fantastic year for us all and...

Be Blessed!

MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIENDS!

2011-12-23T11:01:00.000-06:00

The light of The Christmas Star to you,

The warmth of home and hearth to you,

The cheer and good will of friends to you,

The hope of a childlike heart to you,

The joy of a thousand angels to you,

The love of The Son and God's peace to you.

My friends,
I pray that you realize what each and everyone of you mean to me. I thank you for validating this kid from Alabama that has been allowed to live his dream for over 30-years. I wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas week. Be Blessed...

Happy... yet sad.

2011-12-22T06:59:00.001-06:00

On this day in 1978, I married the love of my life Dianna. Today would have been our 33rd wedding anniversary. However, The Lord and breast cancer took her from us on January 31, 2009. What a wonderful blessing she was to my life, giving me two fantastic sons, and now I have three beautiful grandaughters, notwithstanding two dear daughter-in-laws. I see her in their eyes.

I miss her as much today as I did the day she left me. But I find comfort in the fact she is in the arms of our Saving Lord, painfree, and waiting for me to join her when my time comes. Until then I will always carry her in my heart, and remember when...

Be Blessed.

Remembering President John F. Kennedy

2011-11-22T05:00:00.001-06:00

Without a doubt, I lost my childhood innocence 48-years ago today, on November 22, 1963. The date that Lee Harvey Oswald murdered our President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. I will take that tragic day, and the days that followed to my grave with me. This horrible tragedy had a dramatic effect on this 8-year old kid at the time, and directly influenced my decision to become a Funeral Director as an adult.

I could go on and on about this terrible national tragedy, but I think that just recognizing the anniversary of the event and how it changed my life, and our country as well, is enough for today.

I've traveled to all 50 States, and over 27-countries, but the moment that I stood at the gravesite of President Kennedy in Arlington National Cemetery early on in my WWF/WWE career, was truly a humbling and emotional time for me.

Be Blessed.

OCTOBER - Breast Cancer Awareness Month

2011-10-01T12:56:00.000-05:00

On January 31, 2009, I lost my wife of 30-years, Dianna, to breast cancer. She battled this dreaded beast twice, then it came back a third time and took her from us. Take it from me, this horrible disease can stike anyone, anytime, and any place. Please be aware of the dangers and make sure ladies, that you get your regular checkups... it is a matter of life and death.

Spread the word, October is breast cancer awareness month... be aware... be very aware.

Be Blessed.

One year ago today...

2011-09-21T09:19:00.000-05:00

One year ago today, September 21, 2010, I made my re-debut into WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT, at The SMACKDOWN taping in Bloomington, IL. Which ironically is the birthplace of my mother and the hometown of most of my family on my maternal side.

The event was broadcast on The SMACKDOWN programming that aired on Friday, September 24, 2010.

Many fans didn't understand the briefness of my return, however that was my agreement with the company from the beginning, as I didn't have any intentions of returning to a fulltime schedule of any type. I only appeared on WWE television programming and Pay-Per-View events. Needless to say, notwithstanding my hesitation to return, I had a blast during my six-months back with my extended WWE family.

You may read my original BLOG from September 25, 2010, where I explain in detail some questions you may have had during that time. Just click on this link: MY WWE RETURN BLOG - September 25, 2010

It was a wonderful ride indeed. I keep getting questions - "Will I ever return again?" My answer is fairly standard, I will NEVER say NEVER.

Be Blessed, and thanks for your support and friendship through the years.

My Three Dogs...

2011-09-20T12:20:00.002-05:00

For regular visitors here, and on my Twitter, you read about my three daschunds often. I have had many requests for me to post some pics of my "babies". Well... I found a few. The one above is yours truly with (L to R) Vienna, Conecuh, and Oscar. Oscar was born on 2/24/03, Conecuh on 9/7/03, and Vienna on 7/13/04.

This is Oscar and Conecuh (the mom and dad) enjoying the sunshine streaming through the front door. This is about the time Conecuh got pregnant with her litter.

Oscar and Conecuh and their little family of four females. The oldest baby is the red one, like her dad, we decided to keep her, and named her Vienna Marie. However, our second granddaughter Danielle, couldn't say Vienna Marie, so she called her "Meanie". Since then Vienna is known as Meanie, and that she is.

(L to R) Vienna, and her Dad Oscar, and Mom Conecuh in my late wife's chair, which by the way is the chair Dianna passed away in, January 31, 2009, with all three in her lap, no doubt. Many won't believe this, but since Dianna died, Oscar WILL NOT let me fall asleep in my chair; I know in my heart it is because he was there when she died. If I fall asleep, he will jump on my chest and bark in my face. They looked for her for the longest time after her funeral. In fact for months, Oscar would just sit in her chair, just staring at the back of it. I could smell Dianna's hair on the back of that chair for over a year. When I couldn't smell her anymore, I let Goodwill take it away. But her memories remain all over this house.

(L to R) Oscar, Conecuh, and Vienna, at Vienna's 1st birthday party.

I don't know what I would do without my three sausage dogs. They are indeed my "babies" and I talk to them just like I talk to all of my family and friends. If you love dogs like me you understand, if you're not, no words will suffice. Since Dianna died, they give more comfort than you may ever be able to realize.

If you love dogs like me, I highly recommend you reading Dean Koontz's book, A BIG LITTLE LIFE: A memoir of a Joyful Dog. Koontz rarely writes non-fiction, you will enjoy this as much as I did. Unfortunately you will know the ending as soon as you begin it. Check it out at this link: A BIG LITTLE LIFE

Have a blessed day.

Short Notes From NWA FANFEST 2011

2011-08-08T09:32:00.001-05:00

Yours truly with my dear friend Jimmy Hart and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart

If you followed me this weekend on TWITTER I don't have to tell you that I had a fantastic time in Atlanta for The 2011 NEW LEGENDS FANFEST. This was the second year in a row that I attended, and it was just as great as my first one last year in Charlotte. It will return to Charlotte next year in 2012.

There is no possible way that I can list everyone that I had an opportunity to visit with. Without a doubt my short time with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan will never be forgotten. If you know me well, it certainly isn't a secret that Bobby has always been my hero. He is more now than ever, as his valiant battle with cancer during the past few years shows exactly what type of man he is. He is indeed #1 in my book. I think the world of him, and was blessed to have the opportunity to tell him again face to face.

The gathering is more like a family reunion for us wrestling talents than a paid appearance. Unfortunately, most of us don't get to see each other except for events like this one. They are too few and far between in my estimation.

If you want more information and photos from the event a simple YOUTUBE or GOOGLE seach will give you more than enough details about the weekend. I thank Markus Balas and his family again for sponsoring me this year.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

2011-06-19T12:14:00.000-05:00

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all of my friends who visit my website, BLOG, and TWITTER, on a regular basis. You guys are the best, and your support means more to me than you may ever realize.

Unfortunately, my own Dad is in the hospital today. We just returned from visiting him. He has a lot of medical issues to deal with and has a long road ahead. I appreciate all of your kind emails, and TWEETS, and most importantly your prayers.

My love and best wishes go out to my two sons Michael, and Daniel. Michael's newest daughter (his second) Hope, turns one-month old today. I'm going over to the weekly wrestling matches in Pensacola, FL this evening to visit with my youngest son Daniel, who wrestles on the gulf coast indy circuit as "D.J. Pringle". Daniel has one daughter, Danielle. I am truly blessed with such a wonderful family, and friends.

I hope you all have a wondeful day.
Be Blessed.

INSIDE PRO WRESTLING with Jerry Jarrett

INSIDE PRO WRESTLING with Jerry Jarrett

2011-05-28T06:00:00.000-05:00

I am pleased to be a guest on Inside Pro Wrestling with Jerry Jarrett, this morning, Saturday, May 28th, from 11am until 12pm (CT), on 104-5 THE ZONE. You can access it by clicking on this link:

Jerry Jarrett became a successful wrestler in the South, particularly in his home state of Tennessee, forming tag teams with Jackie Fargo and Tojo Yamamoto. At one point he participated in the first extremely hazardous Scaffold Match.

I had the honor of working with Jerry in Dallas after WORLD CLASS WRESTLING folded, and it became USWA. I was also with Jerry when he had a short stint in the then WWF in the early 1990s. Notwithstanding that I worked with Jerry and his newly established TNA organization early on it it's first year of existance.

Jarrett operated multiple wrestling promotions throughout his career, including Mid-Southern Wrestling, the Continental Wrestling Association, the United States Wrestling Association, World Class Championship Wrestling and, most recently, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Jarrett was often the business partner of Jerry Lawler. In the 1970s, Jarrett began televising his shows.

What a fantastic time I had at the LEGENDS OF THE RING 12 convention this past weekend. It was so good seeing so many friends I haven't seen in years, notwithstanding the standing room only lines of fans. These photos were taken with my personal camera, I only wish I had taken more.

The photo above is yours truly visiting with Joanie "Chyna" Lauer.

With my dear old friends THE GODWINS, Lord it's been too many years. Below they show their love to me with a country pig licking attack.

Another dear friend, Bushwacker Luke. What fantastic people I have been blessed to know and work with during my years in the industry.

Special thanks goes out to the folks with LEGENDS OF THE RING 12, especially Markus Balas and his wonderful family who treated me like a king.

IT's WRESTLEMANIA !!!

2011-03-28T15:11:00.004-05:00

It is indeed my pleasure to officially confirm that I will be in Atlanta, GA for this year's WRESTLEMANIA - 27 event. Including The Hall of Fame Presentation, and the dates and times for my two AXXESS signings.

This year's WRESTLEMANIA is very special to me, considering that 20-years ago, The Undertaker and myself appeared at our very first WRESTLEMANIA in 1991, in Los Angeles, CA; where Undertaker defeated Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. The two photos above were from that spectacular evening, namely WRESTLEMANIA 7. The top photo is myself and Willie Nelson, who sang the National Anthem that year; and (bottom) yours truly and The Undertaker being interviewed by Regis Philbin.

I will be appearing, taking photos, and signing autographs, at The WWE FAN AXXESS on Friday evening, April 1st, from 6:00 - 8:00 pm at THE UNDERTAKER'S GRAVEYARD. Then on Saturday, April 2nd, from 8:00 - 10:00 am again at THE UNDERTAKER'S GRAVEYARD; returning for a regular AXXESS autograph session in the afternoon at 1:00 pm until 3:00 pm. I will also be at The WWE FAN AXXESS at THE UNDERTAKER'S GRAVEYARD on Sunday, April 3rd, from 12:30 - 2:30 pm. The WWE FAN AXXESS will be held in The Georgia World Congress Center, Building 'B', on International Blvd.

I am sincerely excited about attending my first WWE HALL OF FAME ceremony on Saturday evening, at The Philips Arena. Of course this is not my HOF year, it is just the fact that I have the honor of being there live, sitting with my WWE family.

Then on Sunday evening, I am privileged to attend the grand-daddy of them all, WRESTLEMANIA 27, at the Georgia Dome.

Please remember if you are a regular visitor to my BLOG or TWITTER, don't forget to mention that to me when you meet me. It is such a pleasure to put faces with the names of my friends who have supported me through the years.

Be Blessed.

GULF COAST WRESTLERS REUNION 2011

2011-03-10T09:53:00.001-06:00

It's that time of year again, and it's not too late...

Our Annual GULF COAST WRESTLERS REUNION begins tomorrow in Mobile, AL. This will be our 20th year! It will take place on Friday, March 11th and Saturday, March 12th.

It is open ONLY to those currently involved in, or retired from our industry. It IS NOT a fan festival.

Our gathering takes place at The Mobile International Speedway, in Irvington, AL, on Highway 90, just west of Mobile. You may register at the door. If you like, click on this link and download an application, it will make your registration faster. You may be questioned as to your history in our business. Here's the link: 2011 GCWR APPLICATION It is in pdf. format, so you must have Adobe Reader on your computer to download it properly.

If you come once, you will be here every year; just ask somebody who has attended. I suggest arriving around noon on Friday, supper is served around 5pm, and Friday's activities end around 7pm, but many stay much longer. If you can't make it Friday, that's fine, you still can attend on Saturday, as that's the biggest day. It begins around 9am and usually ends promptly by 4pm. So if you have a Saturday booking in the area, there isn't a problem.

Come join us!

Be Blessed.

I have started a new personal page for my family, personal friends and business associates; but still trying to decide what to do about the Fan Page I had. Just beware of all the posers and fakes out there, several trying to imitate me using different names.

I still do TWITTER, so please follow me there if you play that. FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER

MARDI GRAS 2011 - Grand Marshall Saturday Night

2011-02-16T15:09:00.000-06:00

When most folks think of Mardi Gras, they immediately think of New Orleans. The facts are that Mardi Gras actually began in my hometown of Mobile, Alabama. You can click on this link for more on Mobile's Mardi Gras History: Mardi Gras In Mobile

The first official Mobile Mardi Gras Parade of 2011 is on Friday night, February 18th. However, on Saturday night, February 19th, I am honored to be The Grand Marshall of The Order Of Pharaohs Parade.

If you live in the Mobile area, the parade will begin at 6:30 pm, Friday evening, following Route A; followed by their private ball of which I will be the Master of ceremonies. This will be The Pharaohs 26th year of existance, as they were formed in 1985. Long time followers of my BLOG know that my family, close friends, and myself enjoy the parades each and every year. In fact this will not be my first time serving as a Grand Marshall. I had the honor about ten or so years ago as you can see in the photo below. I am really excited about doing it again.

HAPPY MARDI GRAS

Two Years Ago Today...

2011-01-31T11:20:00.000-06:00

The span between life and death

can be as quick and sudden

as a puff of wind

that blows out a candle.

But the candle does not suffer

after darkness comes.

It is the person

left in the dark room

who gropes and stumbles.

Thanks to our many family and friends,

I'm doing fairly good staying in the light.

But now and then, it gets dark.

And I know that darkness will continue,

until that day that I stroll over heaven with you.

I miss you my love!

BREAKING NEWS - It's A Girl...

2011-01-10T10:47:00.001-06:00

My oldest son Michael and his wife Beth had THE ultrasound we have been anticipating this morning that revealed my 3rd grandchild will be another granddaughter. They have already picked the name HOPE ABIGAIL, she is expected to make her arrival on June 13, 2011.

The photo above is yours truly at Christmas with my two granddaughters; 6-year old Grace (left), and almost 3-year old Danielle (right). HOPE ABIGAIL will be Grace's baby sister.

I can truly feel my Dianna's warm smile coming from heaven through the cold, dark, winter clouds this morning when we received the news.

If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a child when it wakes in the morning and smiles because it sees the sun shining on the faces of it's Mom and Dad.

Congratulations, best wishes, and all my love to Michael, Beth, and of course big sister Gracie.

Blessings Indeed.

Happy Birthday My Son

2011-01-08T05:00:00.002-06:00

Not only is today Elvis Presley's Birthday, it is my youngest son Daniel's too. 24-years ago today, Daniel Joseph was born in Dallas, Texas while I was working with The Von Erich Family's World Class Championship Wrestling. He was 7-years younger than his older brother, and what a welcomed life changing addition he was to our little family.

This will be Daniel's second birthday without his mom, who passed away from breast cancer on January 31, 2009. I just want Daniel to know I understand how he feels today. Just remember Daniel, that your Mom loved you more than life itself, and your little Danielle was one of the many things that made her eyes sparkle. You have the best guardian angel you could have, as she is looking down on you each and every day. The biggest tribute you could give her is take care of yourself, and your girls.

Daniel wrestles on the gulf coast independent scene as "D.J. Pringle", and I have the honor of being in his corner now and then.

Wish I could be with you today, but as with many of our family celebrations through the years.... 'rasslin is calling. I'm in Boston... in the snow... again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY my son.
Love,
~Dad

Today holds many memories...

2010-12-22T10:32:00.001-06:00

December 22nd does indeed hold many memories for me. My daughter-in-law Beth, was born on this date. Also on this date in 1990, I met Vince McMahon for the very first time at the then WWF headquarters, the old Titan Towers, and walked out with my first signed contract. It is almost impossble to believe that was 20-years ago.

What is really almost a dream is that also on this date in 1978, my late wife Dianna and I were married, 32-years ago. The images are still burned in my mind, it was exactly 4:30 pm under the oak trees outside of The Irvington First Baptist Church, we would later have our marriage blessed by The Catholic Church.

Where did those years go? Who would have known then the trials, tribulations, and blessings Dianna and I would share. Who would have known about the valiant battles she faced with breast cancer, that would eventually take her from me on January 31, 2009. Where did those years go?

Dianna always loved the holidays. This is the second anniversary that she will be spending our anniversary and Jesus' birthday with him. I know in my heart that she isn't hurting anymore, I know that I will see her again one day. But it is difficult to make those thoughts take the hurt away. It's the holidays, and it still hurts, and always will. I try to smile for my granddaughters... but deep inside I will never forget and will always remember when...

Be Blessed.

My bizarre month with Edge...

2010-12-18T10:36:00.000-06:00

For those of you that missed my previous BLOG with my thoughts on last week's WWE SMACKDOWN, which included ramblings about my past, present, and future, you may check it out at this link if you care to do so. Last Week's BLOG

WWE did an excellent job on last evening's SMACKDOWN with a whimiscal musical vignette of my bizarre past month being kidnapped by Edge. If you missed it, you can see it for yourself below.

One week from today will be Christmas. I wish you all a very blessed Christmas week.

My Past... Present... Future...

2010-12-14T11:06:00.001-06:00

One week ago today, we taped an episode of WWE SMACKDOWN that aired on The SyFy Network this past Friday, December 10th. That show really stirred up a lot of folks, especially those of you that have followed and supported me for so many years. To put things in proper perspective, if you didn't read my BLOG on September 25th when I made my return to WWE, if you have the time I highly suggest that you go back and check it out before continuing here. Just click on this link: PERCY'S POST SEPTEMBER 25, 2010.

You will see from the very beginning that I didn't make it any secret that I never had any intentions of returning to the WWE, and that it took some "arm twisting" for me to make that decision. I didn't think it was proper to discuss the length of my contract at that time, however now I feel a bit different, thinking that you should now realize that it was obviously a short term deal. I will also tell you that my WWE contract IS NOT completely over, in fact I have a couple of months remaining.

Considering my personal past, age, and other issues, I knew in my heart that I couldn't take on a full time schedule that most of the roster, many less than half my age, were doing. My agreement with WWE was for television (SMACKDOWN and PPV) only. That is exactly why you never saw me at any live events (house shows). Unless you have walked in the shoes of a WWE talent working a full time schedule, it is impossible for you to understand what it takes to do that. I've been there, done it, have a t-shirt, and I know that I didn't want to do it again plain and simple. These guys and girls out there on the road full time give up so much to entertain the masses.

I throughly enjoyed my time back with the company. Even though I didn't think so from the beginning, it was something that I seriously needed personally. It was so good for me to be back with my brothers and sisters from so many years ago, and meet the new talents that have come down the line. I can honestly say that I cannot say one bad thing about ANY of the young talents curently within the company. They are good people, that shared the same dream that I had over 30 years ago. They are outstanding athletes and performers, that have the same passion for the industry that I thought I had lost. However, this short run proved to me that I still have that passion and will carry it to the grave with me.

Speaking of graves. Nobody has seen, read, or heard, anything coming from WWE about my character being "dead", "dying", or "killed". That was also the case back when we did the "concrete crypt" back in June of 2004 at WWE's first Great American Bash; however just as now, some folks are reading more into it. Folks, this is sports entertainment, it's 2010, not 1970. Is there a possibility of me ever returning again? I would certainly never say "never"; especially after saying that word six-years ago.

Personally, I truly feel that this past month doing the "kidnapped" storyline with Edge was some of the best work I have done in my 30+ years in the business. Why would I say that? I couldn't talk. Almost everything with the exception of screaming "Kane... Kane..." now and then, was all my eyes and body language. Some may not feel the same... but this is me talking... and I know my work better than anyone else.

Now that I am not doing WWE television every week, I will be returning to independent events around the country, conventions, and signings as well. My booking information is available at this link: Percy's Booking Information.

I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your support. As of this writing I don't plan to make any changes in my BLOG, Facebook Fan Page, or Twitter. I hope you continue to follow me, and stay in touch as I will with you all.

I wish you all a blessed Christmas Season!

WWE SMACKDOWN - December 10, 2010

2010-12-12T12:59:00.000-06:00

Hello my friends,

For those of you that haven't had an opportunity to view WWE SMACKDOWN from Friday, December 10th; here are the three segments that Kane and myself were involved in, including the controversial "final" segment.

Many have jumped to conclusions.... but that's 'rasslin. I will give my thoughts on this entire situation, as well as what the future holds in store for me, in my next BLOG.

I do want to thank all of you that have taken the time to write me thoughtful emails, Facebook posts, and Tweets. I appreciate them more than you will ever realize.

Be Blessed.

A True November Christmas...

2010-11-28T22:30:00.000-06:00

I walked in the door of my house about 15-minutes ago, coming from the hospital where my Dad was taken in the late afternoon. As I walked in, my living room television was on, and a Hallmark Hall of Fame CBS movie was on... November Christmas. Such a fitting title for my BLOG tonight.

My parents 57+ year love affair almost ended today. In fact, I know in my heart and soul that two special guardian angels were watching over him, or he would be heaven this very evening. Those angels were no doubt my late brother and my wife Dianna.

My parents were in the process of leaving their home, and Dad was pulling his car into the driveway to pick up my Mom. Thinking he had put the car in park, he stepped out to help her to the car, and it started rolling backward (he had accidentally put in neutral or reverse). As he reached in to stop it, the car door knocked him to the ground, dragging him for several feet, and rolled over his right foot. This scenerio played out right in front of my Mom as she stood on the porch. The car continued out into the street, coming to rest against a curb.

It's another miracle that Mom didn't have a heart attack herself watching that. She called 9-1-1, then called me telling me to come around to the house NOW! I was preparing supper for them and my oldest son and his little family, and by chance had my police scanner on, and as I hung up with her listened as they announced.... "Rescue 23 to one hit by a car" and gave their address. My heart sank to my stomach.

To make a long story short, after getting him to the emergency room, evaluated with x-rays and a CT Scan; dosed with morphine, he had not broken one single bone. Pretty well beat up, with scratches and bruises, and in severe pain with every breath, they admitted him tonight. He'll be sore for a few weeks, but he's still with us.

As I prepare to pack to travel tomorrow to Norfolk, VA for this week's SMACKDOWN taping, I ask that you remember my Dad and Mom in your prayers; and know that today was truly a November Christmas for my family. I thank Our Lord and our special guardian angels for watching over us tonight, and every night.

Be Blessed.

My 2010 Thanksgiving Thoughts...

2010-11-25T09:21:00.000-06:00

Notwithstanding today being Thanksgiving day, a life saving event happened for me seven years ago on this date in 2003. I had gastric bypass surgery, which I have discussed many times through the years. The two photos above show me the night before the surgery (top), and one year after the surgery (bottom).

I weighed 525 pounds at my highest, which the photo above certainly serves as evidence. I eventually lost a total of 240 pounds. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I would died long before cancer took my wife Dianna from me, if I had not recieved that surgery, which by the way was paid in full by Vince McMahon and WWE. I have since regained in the neighborhood of 40 pounds, but after weighing what I did, no words are necessary, and will make no excuses for regaining one single pound.

What I am Thankful for Today:

1. My Family. This is the second Thanksgiving that my Dianna is celebrating at The Lord's table in heaven. However, I will never stop giving thanks for the years, love, sacrifice, children and grandchildren she gave me. If a flower dropped from the sky everytime I think of her each day, I would walk in a beautiful garden for the rest of my life.

My oldest son Michael is too much like me, we are both too much like my Dad, and that's scary if you really know us three. Michael and his wife Beth are expecting a new Moody baby in June, which we are truly blessed and so excited about. Notwithstanding, their little 6-year old Grace, paw-paw's princess.

My youngest son Daniel, his lady Jami, and little almost three year old Danielle don't live as close, but only 80-miles away. They are such a special part of my life too, I just wish I could see them more often. If you are a regular here at my BLOG, you see and read about Danielle and Grace all the time.

I still have my Mother and Father, which is indeed a blessing at my age. They have been married 57-years, and are the heart and soul of our little family. In fact, we are eating at their house today.

My sissy Joan, her husband Art; niece Donna and her husband Chris, their almost three year old son Aidan, all are so important. Not forgetting my Uncles, Aunts, and other relatives.

Dianna's 10 brothers and sisters, her mother, and all of their families are as just as special to me... they are still my family too, and will always be.

2. My Health. Although I bitch and complain about everyday aches and pains, I'm OK at 56-years old. The extensive test WWE put me through before they allowed me to returned proved that. The traveling I have been doing is a stress test in itself. However, I could be better, and as it's been that way my entire life, that's my own fault... but that's just me.

3. My Faith. I know where I stand with the man upstairs, and he's smart to my gimmick. I know that I have to be a good boy to get to see Dianna again, so I do my best.

4. My Friends. There's too many to count. Of course like all of you, there's that close circle that you know you can call on 24/7 and they will be there; you guys know who you are too, and I love you for it. Then there's so... so many of you that I think the world of, many of you I met due to my work. I respect all of you so much.

5. My work. I could ramble on for pages here, but that old adage stands here... if you understand no words are necessary, if you don't, not enough words will do. I will say that I would have NEVER expected to be doing what I am today again. I had put that part of my life on the shelve and kind of wanted it to stay there. But... I am truly blessed to be back at he top of the game I treasure so much, and has been a part of me almost all of my life. I thank The McMahon Family and Company, and a handful of dear brothers that made this return possible, no matter how long it lasts. It's been a good thing for me.

There's so many other countless parts of my life that I am thankful for this 2010 Thanksgiving Day. My three little sausauge dogs; Oscar, Conecuh, and Vienna... there too, if you understand no words are necessary.

I wish you all a very blessed day with your family, friends, and the things you have to be thankful for too.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
