Bobby's death is one of those days where I will always remember where I was. I was at the gym next to my work, sitting on a bench a few minutes before going to a staff meeting that night. I saw the news on what then was a new phone that is ancient now.
I immediately called my friend Nikolai who had already been alerted. The only time I ever took a plane was to see Bobby and George Steele among others at an autograph show in 2014 with Nikolai. I thought it will be my only time meeting George and my last time meeting Bobby (had a chance in 2017 at probably his second to last show but his line was pretty long and we were leaving the show). His wife of course was at his side, faithful as always and a fan had given Nikolai a photo of he and Bobby from the 1970s. Bobby signed it to him with a lengthy inscription.
What was most special that day was seeing Bobby get up right from his chair to hug Nikolai and see him sign the photo of them. He also was the last of the then living guys to sign my 2004 Hall of Fame DVD insert for free and his second book that I bought from his promoter. I was shocked when the guy told me "$20...$10 for the book and $10 for the autograph." Deals like that are super rare.

33 years ago today we all become subjects in the Kingdom of the Madness. At least on television. This was my first TV taping I attended live and it was filmed on 8/30. Hard to believe they could sit on something in the can for a full month back in the day.

DiBiase is blocking part of his face and I can't make out who it is.
