He was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame this weekend as well. Sad news to hear and another one of the greats gone.

“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

On the local AM radio station KFAB they talked today about the local Wrestlers from the late 60's to early 70's and one of them was Bob Orton who I think is Randy Orton's Father if I am not mistaken. Also Bobby the Brain Heenan and some others from here went on to work for the WWF when they became big on cable.  Those were the days.
