Sir Creep 7,011 Posted January 24, 2016 The Mongolian Stomper dead at 71. Bret Hart said he was the greatest wrestler of all-time in his book iirc. Canadian pro wrestler Archie Gouldie passed away last night. I know right bad time to be a wrestling fan both the stomping Mongolian and Archie gouldie. Who's next?In all fairness to dirtracer18 no search of Archie's name is going to pull up that post. Granted he should be posting here, and maybe would've seen it then. Still, I'm laying 25% of blame at Spade's feet; type in the person's name for just this reason when posting. Not doing so is about as useful as posting 'I can't believe So-and-So is dead' with a link.SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,268 Posted January 25, 2016 The Mongolian Stomper dead at 71. Bret Hart said he was the greatest wrestler of all-time in his book iirc. Canadian pro wrestler Archie Gouldie passed away last night. That's not him, what's wrong with you? There's no way that guy's 71! Oh yeah, also I just found out this weekend, that the internet wrestling writer Harry Simon committed suicide by gunshot in late December. He had lost his dad in the last year or something. He was one of the WrestleCrap guys, also less crappily he was one of the funny people on TheWrestlingFan back in the day so luckily his whole life wasn't devoted to calling perfectly fun things like Royal Rumble '99 "crap". .. Spade, have you ever done any wrestling blogging? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,001 Posted January 25, 2016 Isn't that the second WrestleCrap writer to kill himself? Not to mention they had John Tenta as a columnist back in the day as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 17,707 Posted February 2, 2016 Another name I decided not to go with in the DDP, so he'll be dead by Friday. Bray's not missed a RAW since the Wyatts debuted in 2013 iirc, so I'd assume its quite serious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainChorizo 1,891 Posted February 2, 2016 The fact he has had a lot of health scares the last few years and they never skipped an event for it makes me think it could be a saying goodbye to someone in his last few days sort of thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,001 Posted February 4, 2016 Ah but there was always a weird tradition of names being "borrowed" between US and UK territories. Not only did both sides of the Atlantic have a Black Jack Mulligan, but also a Steven Regal, Kendo Nagasaki and even Big Daddy's nephew wrestled under the name Greg Valentine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't Steve Regal the one and only Steve Regal? IIRC, he was on the circuit in the UK before going Stateside to make his fortune? EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Regal Could be a DL pick in the near future, he has had his fair share of health problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,001 Posted February 4, 2016 Ah, but he stole his name from "Mr Electricity" Steve Regal, an American, which is why he switched to "Steven Regal" when he went over to America the first time round https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Regal 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More of a surprise he lasted so long, to be honest. And in fact, that so few of the ECW mainstays have joined the choir invisible, given all those unprotected headshots and casual shared bleeding.
