I was born with a love for Professional Wrestling. My Grandpa Goode worked for Otis Elevators during the week and on people's cars and trucks on the weekend. Every Saturday morning at around 11 AM, he would stop working on cars and go in the house. He would make him a sandwich or two and glass of milk. Then he would grab a chair from the kitchen table and sit in front of the TV and watch Championship Wrestling for a couple of hours. I am told you could interrupt him at your own peril. After one or two hours of Wilbur Snyder, Dick The Bruiser, Bobby Boldeagle, BoBo Brazil, and Moose Cholak, he would be drenched in sweat from head to toe. That was dedication. The aforementioned legends were heroes of my young childhood. As I aged I traded them for Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and Mick Foley. Other than Andre The Giant and Big John Studd, mo one had a bigger heart for wrasslin' and puttin' on a great show than Randy "Macho Man" Savage. A showmen's showman! He was even part of Wrestling's first Royal Wedding when he married his Beautiful manager, Miss Elizabeth. I have had the privilege to sit ringside at a WCW show right behind Michael "Let's Get Ready To Rumble" Buffer. I have met Ric Flair, The Road Warriors, and The Original Gorgeous George. But, to this day, I believe The Macho Man to be the best show on any card. Give my grandpa a hug for me Randy. We will miss you!
