Most people remember Mae Young for the hand, or for Bubba Ray powerbombing her through a table. I'll always remember her for showing up on a show where LayCool mocked her, and she responded by declaring that she would be more than happy to fight "you sluts and bitches" and teach them a lesson. Miss ya, Mae

I actually met Ox Baker for a few minuets at the PWA Anniversary show. He seemed like a cool dude. Josef Von Schmidt and him were close. He even has a little memorial to him at the school.

Meant that WWE got to talk up her having had matches in I think eight different decades.

Not mentioned but Stewart Allen, UK podcaster and commentator died this year. Total all around good guy and hard worker. Will totally miss him.

I'd rather celebrate who we gained in 2014. Some babies were born this year and they'll grow up to be wrestlers we like or don't like in 20-30 years. Godspeed you idiot babies.

My favorite memory(ies) is Ox Baker having breakfast at McDonalds at the same time I took my lunch break, multiple times (gently caress ever starting work at 3am again) Never wanted to bother him and his wife, though.
