Wednesday Notes...

Oh, my aching back... the things you will do for your grandkids. I spent most of the day yesterday dragging down boxes full of Christmas decorations out of our attic, then helped Dianna do her thing inside the house. Today was my turn with the outside decorations. That's right... imagine my fat butt up and down the ladder hanging lights all over our house. Anyway we got-r-done, and darkness will tell how good of a job I did. Just two years ago I wouldn't think of climbing a ladder 14-16 feet in the air. How things change. Praise The Good Lord!

Many of you have emailed me asking about my brother's health these days. We certainly appreciate your concern and prayers. Harry ("Bubba") is doing as well as can be expected at this stage of his treatment. He is still undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, and has a great attitude. I believe his prognosis is excellent. He stops by my house a couple of times a week, and reads the BLOG here on a regular basis.
Those of you in the Phladelphia, PA and North Delaware area remember that I will be in Newark, DE this Saturday night with The ECWA - EAST COAST WRESTLING ASSOCIATION.

Vince Russo's long awaited RING OF GLORY will debut on December 16th. I am exicited about being a part of this new endeavor. The ROG is not the ordinary 'rasslin promotion for sure. I will be joined by names such as, Jeff Jarrett, Lex Luger, Brian "Roadogg" James, Vince Russo, D-Lo Brown, Matt "Spike Dudley" Hyson, Rodney Mack, Jazz, Kevin Kelly, Scott Hudson, Mark Jindrak, Jerry Lynn, Disco Inferno, Mike Sanders, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, "The Monster" Abyss, Brad and Scott Armstrong, Sonni Siaki, Jimmy Rave, Erick Watts, Trinity, Terry Taylor, Kevin Northcutt and many others. That will be at 7:00 PM on the 16th, at The Forum, in Rome, Georgia.

Have a good "hump day" my friends!

Monday Bits and Pieces...

It's the Monday after a long Thansgiving weekend. I hope you all had a good one! We certainly did. The next stop will be Christmas. Our friend and talented Webmaster "Plowboy" Kurt Nielsen has done a fantastic job with the new splash page of www.PercyPringle.com. Check it out when you have the time.

Our Gulf South Wrestling debut "house show" was a fantastic success Friday evening. It was granddaughter Grace's first experience with the world of professional wrestling. Blame it all on her roots I guess, as she was like a duck in water when she stepped into the ring to run around prior to the show. She didn't want to get out. Bless her heart... I understand the feeling.

Once again I would remind you that I will be in Newark, DE this Saturday night, December 3rd, with Jim Kettner's ECWA - EAST COAST WRESTLING ASSOCIATION. Jim has the reputation of being one of the finest independent promoters in the country. I am really looking forward to visiting the area once again.

The RING OF HONOR has released my shoot interview with Jim Cornette. I think that you will find this DVD very interesting. You can check it out at: PP3 & Cornette ROH Shoot Interview

Despite the Thanksgiving holiday, there's really not a bunch of news today. So... you all have a good week, and we shall return!

God Bless.

TWO YEARS AGO TODAY

Two years ago today, I weighed 525 pounds. Rolling the dice, I took a chance at Gastric Bypass Surgery. I had two choices, die from my morbid obesity, or die from the risks of the surgical procedure. I have documented my story in The Story Time section of Percy Pringle.Com. If you missed them, you can check them out at: HOW PAUL BEARER SAVED BILL MOODY'S LIFE and THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF MY WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. I truly feel better than I have in many years. I am a new man with an entirely different outlook on life. I weigh less than 300 pounds since joining The WWF/WWE in December of 1990. I reached a plateau on my weight loss several months ago, but that is fine with me. I don't care if I lose another ounce. I have so much to be thankful for during this Thanksgiving weekend!
My independent organization Gulf South Wrestling will ring it's bell for our first official "house show" tonight in a small community southwest of my hometown of Mobile, Alabama. I invite those of you living in our area to come out and enjoy the beginning of the future of Gulf Coast sports entertainment.

My RING OF HONOR "shoot interview" with my old friend and fellow manager Jim Cornette is now available. You can find out more about it, and even order your own copy by clicking on this link: PRINGLE & CORNETTE SHOOT ON THE 'RASSLIN WORLD

Have a great Friday, and a fantastic weekend!
