Just found out that one of the most underrated talkers in wrestling history just passed.

He was a madman in the ring, very intense. The younger peeps here will probably remember him as The Wizard in the WWF, and from his time in the Dungeon of Doom in WCW.

I vaguely remember him in the WWF. I know he managed Kamala for a bit, but I'll rememebr him most in WCW for his role in the Dungeon of Doom. He will me missed... R.I.P.

If I'm not mistaken, he had a huge influence on Kevin Sullivan.

Quite sad, but he did get to live a long life for a wrestler.

Btw- my favorite Wizard/King Kurtis moment- from 0:45-0:53. I must have rewound that so many times and it still makes me laugh to this day!

It is not necessary to believe in God to be a good person. In a way, the traditional notion of God is outdated. One can be spiritual but not religious. Some of the best people in history did not believe in God, while some of the worst deeds were done in his name.
