Thank You All!


  This has been a trying time over the last week.  Nobody expected this to happen this quickly.  That just lets you know you never know the time nor the place.  From the bottom of every single one of the Moody family, we want to thank you for the outpouring of love and repect given to Dad. 

  I know Dad is extremely happy now, being in paradise with Mom and my son Troy.  It is very selfish of us to say that we want him back, but it's only natural.  We will not be taking his Blog down.  From time to time, Daniel or myself may feel the need to share something with you all.
 
  Last Monday night on Raw, Daniel and I were honored that the WWE let us come to Indianapolis to witness the memorial show they did for Dad.  That had to have been just as hard as watching them lower him down into the Alabama Red Clay.  The only thing I requested from them was for Jerry Lawler to mention his catch phrase, "Sweet Home Alabama."  After every trip, on Facebook he would always say, "Wheels Down, Sweet Home Alabama."  After coming home and watching the show on TV, I did get to hear Jerry say that. 

  This has been one hell of a ride the last week.  I am very glad that each one of you were abel to get something our of knowing Dad/Moody/Percy/Bill/Paul, whatever name you knew hit my.  To us, he was Dad/Son/Brother/Uncle.  We never saw him as a star, we saw him as family. 
 
  Again thank you all for everything you have done and what Dad has done for the world.  We are still learning of things about him that we had no clue about.

Thanks,
Michael and Daniel Moody

This Date In 1991...


Almost impossible to believe that on this very date in 1991, I appeared with The Undertaker for the first time at a WWF Television Taping in Macon, GA.  It showed on WWF programming a couple of days later.  So many years... so many memories.  Who would ever have thought it would have lasted this long?  Remembering, to this day I remain contracted to WWE, under a Legend's Contract.  Thank you all for all of the support through the years.  It's not over yet!  Ohhh...  Yesss......

Be Blessed.

HAPPY 20th ANNIVERSARY TO MONDAY NIGHT RAW

Just don't seem possible it has been 20-years since the very first MONDAY NIGHT RAW.  I remember it like it was yesterday, at The Manhattan Center in New York City.  The Undertaker and myself appear at the 34;42 point into the show.  Precious memories.



Be Blessed.

NEWTOWN, CT TRAGEDY

 

Hello my friends,
I was scheduled to appear on PRO WRESTLING TORCH this afternoon, however due to the tragic circumstances in Newtown, CT this is not the time to discuss professional wrestling for me.  I apologize to Wade Keller and all of his followers at PWT.  Hopefully we may reschedule for another time.

 
I am the proud grandfather of three wonderful girls ranging in age from two to eight years old.  I just cannot imagine what the familes and friends of those shot in Newtown are going through at this time.  I can only offer my prayers and thoughts.
 
Be Blessed.

Remembering Mike Graham



 
 

Michael Gossett, best known professionally as Mike Graham, the son of late Championship Wrestling from Florida promoter Eddie Graham, passed away Friday, October 19th, at the age of 61.  He was in Daytona, Florida for a motorcycle gathering with his wife and was found deceased.
 
Graham, a tremendously gifted in-ring performer from a technical standpoint, was trained by Hiro Matsuda, Boris Malenko and his father in the early 1970s and had a long run as a babyface in the Florida territory but made appearances for the WWF, AWA and other promotions as well. He had won just about every championship there was in the old Florida territory and had several stints as the AWA Light Heavyweight champion.
 
Graham closed out his regular in-ring career in the early 1990s for WCW before becoming a road agent for the company and was off and on with WCW as a trainer and producer until the company closed in 2001.
 
Graham was also involved in several start-up companies in the 1980s and 1990s, often trying to recapture the magic of the old Florida territory, most notably with PWF in Florida, which featured Dusty Rhodes returning to the State as its top star following his run as booker for Crockett Promotions, as well as talents like Dustin Rhodes, Big Steel Man (Fred "Typhoon" Ottman), and others. He was also involved in Rhodes' Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling and Jimmy Hart's XWF.
 
Graham, a staple in the Florida wrestling scene for his entire life, still appeared occasionally on legends events promoted by WrestleReunion and similar promotions and appeared on several of the early Legends of Wrestling roundtable discussion shows produced by WWE's 24/7 Video on Demand channel. He accepted his father's posthumous WWE Hall of Fame induction over Wrestlemania 24 weekend, showcasing a large photo he was giving WWE of an old NWA convention gathering of promoters. Mike was also involved in the training of a number of talents who broke in during the 1980s and 1990s.
 
I was working for CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING FROM FLORIDA, when Mike's Father Eddie, passed away in 1985.  Thanks to PWInsider for this information.  An excellent biography and obituary is available at SLAM WRESTLING as well. You may access that site by clicking on this link: SLAM WRESTLING - Mike Graham Story .

Fantastic weekend.... Almost.

A busy but outstanding weekend, beginning on Friday, October 12th, with PRO WRESTLING SYNDICATE in Rahway, NJ. I managed Vader for the first time in over a decade.  He wrestled my good friend Rikishi.  I just had a blast seeing everybody.  It was a pleasure having good 'ol Dr. Tom Prichard riding with me, we got to spend some quality time together, and catch up on so much of our lives.  I thank EXTREME AUTOGRAPHS for making it all possible for me.
Yours truly "hamming it up" with Armando Estrada, Jimmy Hart, and Slick, at THE LEGENDS OF THE RING in Monroe, NJ on Saturday, Oct. 13th.
You just don't know how many yards I had to cut to buy these guy's magazines back in the day, Bill Apter, and George Napolitano.  I don't know if I've ever seen a photo of them together.  But here they are with me and "The Mouth Of The South" Jimmy Hart.
Jimmy and myself visiting with The Blue Meanie.  Been too long!  You just have to understand that I have just as much fun as the fans do at these events.  If I only had the energy Jimmy Hart has, I tell him that all the time.  What a true legend and dear friend.


With Scotty Too Hotty, and Grandmaster Sexxy.  I won't tell you how long I've known Scott, just been so long since I've seen both of them.  So happy that we still have Brian's Dad, "The King" Jerry Lawler with us, what a close call that was.  It's impossible for me to list everybody's names, I couldn't remember them all if I tried.  I'm just so blessed to still be doing what I do, and part of my boyhood dreams after almost 40-years.
What a trio.



The only disappointment was one of the most horrible travel days I have had in recent memories was yesterday, Sunday, October 14th.  I missed the 100th episode taping of CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING FROM HOLLYWOOD.  But, it's water under the bridge now.  No sense in whining about something I had absolutely no control over. I just apologize to all the fans, but I tried my best to get there.  It wasn't meant to be.

I hope you all had a great weekend, and a good week ahead.

Be Blessed.
