Thanks to everyone at
@WWE
20 years ago, we lost a great friend n Hercules Hernandez. I'll always remember how affable Ray was & his uncanny sense of humor! May we never forget those that touched our lives, though we cannot speak with them today, maybe someday? I pray for your soul & for your family Ray 🙏
Such a wonderful human being left us today. So many grew to love James! It always seemed the "locker rooms," if you will, just seemed more fun to be in. Enjoyed 1 of the best matches I ever had, with "Sugar Bear Harris," in Springfield, MO. May Jimmy be in a better place 🙏
Today marks 1 yr. since the passing of 1 of our greatest competitors & Friends, Jim "the Anvil" Neidhart. Jim was a real man's man, loving husband (love U Ellie) Dad & inlaw; great memories!
@NatbyNature
@BretHart
can sit 4 hours & still smile with Jim. Thanks
@ChickenMan3010
🙏
This is a very difficult day. Brett would have been 30 years old today but unfortunately his life was tragically taken this past July 22nd. A day has not gone by without tears for you son. We all miss you and pray that you will have a happy heavenly birthday! 🙏
Nattie is such a beautiful woman both inside and out. I know that Jim is so proud of her 🙏, as is Ellie and me too! Nattie is like a daughter, as the entire Hart family are extended family...Love them all so much!
An unbreakable foundation!

@BretHart
David Von Erich passed 40 yrs ago today & is sadly missed! David was 1 of the most promising talents in the business. A baby face in Texas whom became a fine heal in Florida, a person of integrity & a long time friend I will never forget! I pray you're in a better place brother🙏
Our friend Ray Hercules Hernandez passed today 03/06/04. Herc used to visit my house on a weekly basis & we always laughed & had fun. Ray's eulogy was an honor. He left behind a wonderful family; praying 4 the comfort of Debbie & Ray's children. May he be in a better place 🙏
It was such a blessing to recently share my Dad's "90th" birthday with him! He's a great Dad and I respect him so much for all he has been through, the work ethic he taught me as a kid and so much more... ❤️
@dbongino
No president in my lifetime, has done more to hurt the United States of America than
@BarackObama
but I still respected him as our POTUS. It's a shame he continues his tirades against capitalism and
@POTUS
and causing more decent amoung us all...sad!
#MAGA
Happy heavenly Birthday Mr. Wonderful!
We miss you Paul, 2 years has gone by and I think about you so much.
Praying your in a better place dear brother 🙏
Can't believe it's been 1 year today since "Mean" Gene Okerlund left us. There will never be another one like him, such a gentleman, a consummate professional and one of the most fun guys to hang around with in memory. May Gene be in a better place 🙏
One of the most difficult days of my life today. I'm so blessed that my mother and father R alive but to lose a friend of 44 years, that was as close to me as it gets, really hurts. So many wonderful times. Thanks to all that have reached out to me. Paul is in a better place 🙏
It's been 1 year since "Mr. Wonderful" left us and I miss him so much. Over 40 years of friendship. Paul Orndorff was
#1
of my best friends ever...may he be in a better place, may we meet again 🙏
Great time in Freehold, N.J. at the 80's Wrestling convention! Mr. Wonderful, Paul Orndorff, Jumping Jim Brunzell, Fred Ottman Tony Atlas, Demolition, Sergeant Slaughter, Tito Santana, Meng Haku, Bob Backlund & many more. Great to see all these friends and great fans!
16 years ago today my good friend Ray "Hercules" Hernandez, actually Fernandez, passed away. I will always remember Hercules for his charming smile and wit, besides being a tremendous Talent. May he be in a better place 🙏
In the spirit of keeping our good friends memory's alive, today marks 4 years since our good friend, "Jim the Anvil Neidhart," left us for a better place.
I pray for his soul and for the wonderful family that Jim left behind 🙏

Rip Oliver went to be with the Lord today at 4 p.m.. May the good Lord comfort his widow and 3 children, family & close friends. Rip is no longer suffering but we are deeply saddened by this news.
@CACReunion
Thank you George! That was very kind of
@BretHart
4 the kind words said of the "Killer Bees," we loved working with Jim, father 2
@NatbyNature
& Brett, we rocked the house around the world. What a blessing Brett and Jim have been in my life, I love them both very much 🙏
Chief Jay Strongbow, agent 4 night, said that Vince wants to see us immediately (Paul and I). Paul said, I think Vince is pissed over the elbow to the balls. Instead, he excitedly said "this was the best match I've ever seen" & actually hugged us! Very unlike VKM! 😁 Thks 4 post
Paul Orndorff vs. B. Brian Blair
Kiel Auditorium - March 1984
The Tampa boys arrived in the WWF & had a series of great bouts in ’84. They really rocked the house this night.
Vince & Mean Gene call the action.

Please help "Mr Wonderful" whom entertained us for so many years! He has beat stage 4 lymph node cancer and is now battling severe CTE. If you can afford $5 or more, it would be greatly appreciated! God Bless U & Yours!
It was incredibly slippery almost like wrestling on ice! I had arthroscopic knee surgery 4 days earlier, so I was trying 2 B extra cautious. We went back in late 88
@HulkHogan
& me could not wait 2 get out of there, as the stench of Bruiser Brody's needless murder still haunts us
Sadly I report that 1 of the all-time great talents from CWF, Dick Slater, AKA "Dirty" Dick Slater, passed away last night from heart complication, I'll never forget when he knocked this Fan out, that kept sticking his head in the dressing room in Tallahassee may he rest in peace
Many have asked me how Paul "Mr. Wonderful" Orndorff is doing, seen here, I'm way in the back, at the Bar in Waterloo, Iowa. Just spoke with him and his memory is improving, he is healthy, funny and is looking forward to more autograph signings. Message me for serious inquiries
So sad to hear of the passing of Harley Race early this afternoon. 1 of the greatest NWA world champions ever & a real friend if he liked you. We've had so many wonderful times together & I pray that he's in a better place with 1 of his favorite people and opponents, Jack Brisco!
It's been 5 years since my/our good friend Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart left for a better place. May we never forget the entertainment & happiness that Jim brought to so many. 🙏

Another amazing show aired as the final episode on the 3rd season of Dark Side of the Ring, my favorite show on television! So many people I know & don't, have said they are watching episodes 2 and 3 times, that's amazing, with so much programming. Keep up the great work "Vice"!
Can't believe it's been 18 years since our very good friend, "Hercules" Ray Fernandez passed on...I sure miss Ray and pray that he's in a better place 🙏. Lots of love to Debbie Garcia Fernandez and family... love you guys!
Thank you Anthony, it was extremely disappointing to us as well, after being promised the belts on 3 occasions... Politics! Same lines: "The $'s in the chase" & "You don't need a Belt 2 get Over". We had to go to the UWF to become World Tag Team champions.
@realDonaldTrump
Agreed! If the wall were in place, not only would it put a major dent in Drug trafficking, Sex trafficking, Terrorism, welfare free-loaders... the Caravans and others that risk life, young children etc., it would be such a deterrent that they would be forced to come in legally!
Will miss Joe so much. A good friend and a great man. I hope that Joe and Mike are both in a better place. May God comfort Joe's wife during this most trying time 🙏
Killer Bees were the hottest tag team on the planet at 1 time! 3 Wrestlemania's, winners of the Frank Tunny tournament & Survivor series, the Big Event, Wrestling Album & Slammy's, Royal Rumble, Action Figures, Circle K cards, Cracker Jack boxes, all kinds of merchandise, & more!
1 year tomorrow since Lanny passed on February 2nd, 2023.
I pray that Lanny's in a better place and I'm grateful to have been a part of his life!
Highly intelligent and never a dull moment, Lanny was a tremendous person to be around. 🙏
It's amazing how generous people can B when there's a mission in front of them, that's worthwhile; obviously Paul brought enough joy into people's hearts that they have taken him 2 the finish line, how "Wonderful" U all R! The family thanks U, I thank U, as well as Paul's piers🙏
Very well done Gerald!
Pat will always be missed...so many wonderful memories of a multifaceted, tremendous Talent and friend... Thank you for this tribute from the heart Gerald!
Come C the Animal & Paul Ellering except the 2020, 55th CAC reunion tag team award in Vegas, April 27th-29th at the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino! They're both excited about being there, as we will C some great footage & hear them speak live. Brother Hawk will B there in spirit 🙏
Two of the absolute BEST guys to work with in the business as a baby face. These 2 men (in their prime) could get as much heat & have as good of Match, as anyone you can name, guaranteed, been there done it, AMEN!
Wishing one of my best friends ever, a happy heavenly birthday! "Mr Wonderful" Paul Orndorff would be 72 today and I can only hope and pray that we will all meet again in a better place someday 🙏. Miss you brother!

Hold on to your stomachs, as this is a very detailed and "Brutal" story, when Beefer's unfortunate parasailing accident takes place! Tuesday night at 10:00 p.m. EST on Vice TV!
Despite being one of the most recognizable personalities from the WWF’s golden age, Brutus Beefcake was still forced to fight for respect because of his friendship with the industry’s biggest star.

Tonight's
@DarkSideOfRing
has been unfolding an amazing story on the life of Chris Benoit. If you have missed it, I highly suggest that you go back and watch it, however possible. I knew Chris very well and in this is tragic situation, they are telling the truth as I know it!
Talk about a man... Danny Hodge was the "Man" amongst his peers! A tremendous athletic career which included a 46-0 record at Oklahoma University & never taken off of his feet in a wrestling tournament. A real gentleman and purely a class act! Miss you sir! 🙏
Time stand still for No One, as it seems like yesterday that I was conversing with both Macho and Lanny across the Bay in Clearwater FL. The entire Poffo family are legends that will never die... love them, miss them & pray they're in a better place 🙏.
Remembering one of professional wrestling's most legendary iconic characters and beloved performers of all time as Randy "Macho Man" Savage passed away 12 years ago today. He truly was "The Voice" of a generation and many childhoods the world over. His legend lives on.
One year ago, within a 2r hour period, sadly we lost both Nikolai Volkoff and Brickhouse Brown. 2 totally different people but 2 fine friends! My thoughts and prayers go out to their families and I hope and pray they are in a better place 🙏
It was good to see some great friends today! Great stories and lots of smiles... thank you all!
L-R: B Brian, Joe Simon, Lou Perez, Al Perez, Buck Quartermain, Bill Alfonso, Steve Keirn, Steve Madison and Hector Guerrero. Chris Hovan (not in photo).
Just thinking about my good friend, Hercules Hernandez. Ray left US 23 years ago today. So many fond memories with Ray...may he be in a better place 🙏.
Gorilla was awesome, he was most famous as an in ring Talent, which morphed into Expert Commentary & the legendary "Gorilla position"! Gino was proud of his son Joey, as all the talent respected Joey, an "A" Ref.. The Morella's did a tremendous job in raising their children! 🙏
Sadly on this date in 1999 We lost one of the most beloved commentators in Gorilla Monsoon, whether it was with Jesse The Body Ventura or Bobby Heenan, he made it so fun to watch WWF wrestling and still to this day people are watching him on YouTube. I met him in the 1980's and…
I sure miss "Mr Wonderful,"my favorite singles opponent. Big John Studd named him "Oscar,"as in Oscar the Grouch, in Japan because he was always complaining, Lol. Never had a match with Paul where I wasn't sore afterwards. Great memories & thanks for sharing Travis!
19 years ago today we lost a legend in the wrestling industry... Mr. Hiro Matsuda was a brilliant trainer and mentor to many of us. I am very blessed for all the time that he spent with me. May his family be comforted and may Hiro be in a better place.
Thank you so much George, but stop the tape. Brickhouse is Mother Victoria just called me to inform me that Brick was still alive and woke up, somehow, last night and said he was hungry. Stay tuned as this is not over, unbelievable! I'll write what happened on my Facebook page.
Getting ready to Land at LGA in N.Y. , to film the new season Documentary, "Dark Side of the Ring;" if it's anything like last season, it will be must see T.V..
Very sad day. Pat was a tremendous friend to me 4 over 40 years. A tremendous Ring General & a great teacher. Cannot count the good times we shared. He touched many people's lives in a positive way & helped make WWE the Titan it is today. Always rememberd, May Pat rest in peace.
Thank you
@WrestlingIsKing
... this was 1 of our first photos together as the Killer Bees & obviously one of us mist Which jacket was supposed to be worn on this particular day, LOL... Had a great time as a Killer B and thank you to the great fans that allow it to keep on going!
It's been 1yr. since an amazing performer, athlete, father & family man, Rocky Johnson passed, we lost a tremendous friend!
@TheRock
said it best, Rocky was a "Trailblazer"! He left behind so many great memories & super matches we can still watch. I pray he's in a better place 🙏
Just saw the Iron Claw, excellent!
I didn't cry until, I saw a photo of David in his wrestling jacket, with his signature Texas Yellow Rose; It was very intense for me!
if you've ever read Job, in the Bible, Kevin's life has been earily close to the story of Job!

Another day filled with sad news as we learn of the passing of Don Kernodle at the age of 71. We send out our condolences to his friends, fans and family, thank you for the memories Sir. R.I.P. Don
So sad to report the passing of Brickhouse Brown today. Unfortunately when he found out that he had stage 2 prostate cancer, had no insurance, so was only being treated with pain meds. When the
@CACReunion
was asked, we were there. We need more awareness as 2 CAC's mission. 🙏
Brick House is an amazing man... He is gone from 142 lb with stage 4 prostate cancer, was only taking pain medication between stage 2 when discovered and stage 4. He had no insurance. Thanks to the members of the
@CACReunion
he has now received treatment and is up to 204 pounds!
A very Happy Birthday to one of the greatest athletes that ever put on the tights,

I love you brother and always will as I wish you both health and happiness Mr. Wonderful! 🍻
Just thinking about our good friend Jimmy Harris - Kamala, as it's been 2 years since Jimmy left us for a better place. Not only was Jimmy a tremendous draw in wrestling, he was a tremendous friend to all that knew him...a truly Good Man! 🙏

The Destroyer is the longest living Cauliflower Alley Club member and has missed only one event in well over 30 years. I agree that Dick Beyer belongs in every Hall of Fame. He still goes to Japan every year and is a true legend!
@WayneDupreeShow
Won't happen Wayne. I've dealt with this radical group personally, politically & there is always controversy surrounding them. Judge Jeanine is a classy, knowledgeable person and has done nothing wrong, other than exercising her 1st amendment rights. Keep up the great work Wayne!

Happy New Year! ❤🙏
I wish that those of us that were so fortunate to hang with these 2 amazing people for many, many hours & situations, could even come close to explaining what it was like to be a fly on the wall...incredible just 2 have been there! Miss them both and my prayers for their souls 🙏

Thank you very much!
It was a very emotional feeling 2 B wheeled out in a modified golf cart, in a pair of modified underwear, in front of the largest crowd n history 2 that date. I thank God 4 every blessing that has been bestowed upon me & I pray 4 my Fallen colleagues that r on this amazing poster

@DarkSideOfRing
My former best friend, mentor & the greatest NWA Champion of all time in my opinion. I often think of Jack, especially when I'm around his brother Gerald. So many great Jack Brisco stories, what a tremendous athlete Jack was! Thanks for posting this Mike & all the best 2 U!
To be around S.D. Jones was always a pleasure. His smile was contagious along with a witty and kind personality. The pride of Antigua, as well as those who knew him. Happy heavenly Christmas S.D., dear friend 🙏

DDP has a big heart! 1 of the kindest most energetic people you will ever meet, if you've had the opportunity. Those of us that know him, love him! DDP is not a selfish person but would rather help others succeed than himself, that's what makes Paige happy & special; a real man!
I liked your Daddy's pink suit as well Nattie! Jimmy Hart was instrumental in putting much of the wrestling album together. Koko B Ware was probably the best singer on the stage! Brings back a lot of memories and was a lot of fun to do, even though our payoff was a donut 🙂.
Happy Independence day to all!
Still fishing each morning and some evenings in the Keys. We leave at 4:30 am and you never know what lurks below or might grab your bait (using a Ballyhoo). Never caught a Parrot Fish before...fought like Mohammed Ali 😀 God bless America!
Fishing in the Keys with my nephew Kevin, a captain of a 43 foot boat 4 the fishing & Crab Trap business, along with my older son Brett; going out to SEA what we can catch. A yearly event, but without fireworks on Sombrero Beachl I'm OK if we 🐟 Happy, healthy wishes to all!
