From the wrasslin world, RIP Terry Funk. One of the great moments of the 1980s:

And another. Wyndham Rotunda, aka Bray Wyatt. Son of IRS / Mike Rotunda. Just 36.

Report on Wyatt is that he had heart issues exacerbated by covid. Damn.

Does Barker win the prize for closest to 100 without going over?

Made me laugh

[skippy1999]

I laugh at his happy Gilmore scenes every single time, he was hilarious in that.

Labor Day Weekend feels almost eerily appropriate given how people consider it the end of summer.

[Natsinpwc]

Headed to Miami and the Keys this weekend.  Will have a margarita for Jimmy.

Headin' out to San Francisco
For the Labor Day weekend show
I got my Hush Puppies on
I guess I never was meant for glitter rock 'n' roll
And honey, I didn't know that I'd be missin' you so
Come Monday, it'll be alright
Come Monday, I'll be holdin' you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L.A haze
And I just want you back by my side

[Copecwby20]

I guess he really was wasting away down there in Margaritaville.

My absolute fave, man this sucks

Bill Richardson (75) - former US Ambassador to the UN, and 'trailblazer' for Latino Americans in government.

Complications from skin cancer did Jimmy in. Don’t forget the Sun screen.  They were having some kind of tribute today in Key West but we needed to leave before it began. All the shops were playing his music.  RIP.

Merkel Cell. A very rare, very aggressive form of skin cancer. He had been first diagnosed four years ago according to reports. A friend of mine died from it after about two years following a misdiagnosis initially.
