JR “Family Condolences”, Bret Hart, Jeff Hardy, The Kings’ Costume and more
JR has updated his blog. Here are a few highlights from the post.
JR sending condolences to The Johnson family on the passing of Lia Miavia:
Our family sends its condolences to the family of the late Lia Maivia who passed away a few days ago at the age of 81. Lia promoted pro wrestling on the island of Hawaii for years after the death of her husband, High Chief Peter Maivia. Lia was a engaging lady who had a wonderful spirit and, much like my late mom, was quite the character who was always fun to be around. Never a dull moment. I do know that she was so proud of her grandson Dwayne Johnson and deservedly so. I am really happy that I had the chance to meet Lia after hearing so much about her in th early part of my career. She will be missed by all that knew her and her legacy will be forever remembered in the annals of pro wrestling.
Bret Hart Update:
Yours truly received a cool email from Bret “The Hitman” Hart this week. It is always nice to hear from friends especially friends that are happy and doing well. Bret’s provocative autobiography has made its way onto the New York Times Best Seller list and it cannot come more highly recommended from me. There are only a few books that I have read that I honestly feel all wrestling and sports fans should read and this is one of them. I still think that Bret’s autobiography would make a entertaining film or dramatic series on a HBO-like network.
Jeff Hardy shared the same flight as JR. Saying no incidences occured report:
The enigma known as Jeff Hardy and yours truly were on the same flight coming out of Laredo to DFW to catch our connecting flights home Tuesday and I am happy to report that there were no “incidents” that would be considered internet worthy. That is unless snoring is considered controversial and that would have been me. I will admit it. I’m man enough to say I snored rather loudly or so I am told on the American Eagle flight. I should have hooked up my CPAP machine but it was in checked baggage. I apologize to all my fans….both of you.
JR says The King is very excited about the Divas Halloween contest and telling the fans what costumes he is going to be at this Sunday’s Cyber Sunday:
The King seems to be unusually excited regarding the Divas Halloween Costume Contest this Sunday. Word on the street has it that Jerry is going to dress up as either Hugh Hefner or Larry Flynt for the contest that only he should MC and/or judge. Of course, now in the PG world of the WWE no one will hear the Hall of Famer blurt out “puppies” even on PPV….I don’t think.
