I don't follow wrestling anymore and really stopped following it sometime in high school (graduated in '92).

I fondly remember Stampede wrestling. They would tour the little towns in western canada and would allow the kids to come down and watch them set the ring up etc. If things were running smoothly they'd even let some kids get up into the ring learn some things. I've been lightly body slammed by Bruce and Bret and taught how to go into the ropes by Keith Hart. The Harts being the face of the brand were always very personable. Bad News Allen also seemed pretty good. The Angel of Death was a dick. I don't recall meeting The Anvil but the Hart foundation was the era I watched and I remember always looking forward to the HArt Foundation matches. It sucks to see all these people that had some impact on your life you pass on. RIP Jim.
