Whattup Horsey-holics....
I come to you today a humbled and saddened man that has just been hit in the face with a major dose of reality.
I was just informed that a good friend of mine, Chief Bootknocka, passed away Saturday night after a show. The statements I get is that at an outside show, he returned to the locker room after his match and collapsed out of his chair and was not able to be revived.
This news hits me so close to home because I got to be good friends with Boot, his wife, and his girls and I offer my deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
With a wife and daughters as well, I can only imagine the impact this has had on them and if they still read my columns, I just want to let them know that if they ever need me or my family for anything, don't hesitate to get a hold of us.
Boot was a good friend, husband and father and he was a lot of fun to work with. I would have taken his finisher anytime and pretty much did every time we wrestled each other.
I really don't know what all to say right now, I'm still kind of in shock about it all. You just don't think that this could ever happen to one of your own brothers but it has.
All I can say for sure is that Chief Bootknocka is surely in a better place now.
Take care Boot, you will be deeply missed....
