WWE Scramble Creator, Kowalski Thoughts and more
Jim Roos has got his latest entry on his website. Here are a few snippets from his writings:
-WWE Hall of Famer Pat Patterson told me that he loved the idea of the “Championship Scramble” coming up at Unforgiven in about 3 weeks. Patterson created the Royal Rumble concept and apparently Pat has visualized the “Championship Scramble” and he feels certain that it will be exciting. Before critics damn the match perhaps we should allow it to actually happen. I am reserving my opinion until I see the match. The success of this unique attraction is all in the execution, as usual. Plus it is a chance for multiple wrestlers to shine. Someone we unexpect may have a jaw dropping performance.
-As I write this we await the inevitable news regarding the condition of Walter “Killer” Kowalski who has been in a coma for a few days now. Walter was one of wrestling’s greatest stars over multiple decades and wrestled in main events all over the world. Kowalski was a buzz saw in the ring and usually set a pace that made most of his opponents very uncomfortable. Walter, a vegan, prided himself on his conditioning and stood over 6′6″ and wrestled at one time at around 270-280 pounds. I have seen tapes from back in the day when Walter was known as “Tarzan” Kowalski and was a fan favorite. However Killer’s claim to fame was that as a wrestling villian of which he was arguably one of the 10 best ever considering the number of places that he competed around the world. Our thoughts and prayers are with Walter’s family and friends.
