I would like to dedicate this column to the memory of a good friend of mine, Howard Thomas, who passed away on Nov. 1, 2001. Memories of good times shared with friends are like KAYFABE MEMORIES... they never fade. Rest in peace, big guy.

STARRCADE '85 was not your typical JCP card. The intensity level of all the workers that night was at an all time high. The event was so big that it had to be held in two venues...

Title Unification between Billy Jack Haynes and Wahoo McDaniel ( U.S. Tag champs ) and Ole and Arn Anderson ( National Tag Champs ). No high spots here, just good, rugged, old fashioned wrestling. Ole pinned Wahoo to merge both sets of belts.  More...
