    See its nice to hear about someone going wrong but making it right, as interesting as "this guy did crime and never stopped" or "this guy did crime and died" stories are. A happy ending is always better.

      @woobgamer5210 Před 2 lety +6

      It is nice to see a WTC episode where the ending was actually a happy one, while the last two was 'he was physically fricked due to drugs and nearly murdered someone' and 'her drinking problem caused a crash that killed someone while already a constant nuisance to the police'

    I really miss my favorite rasler' BLACKJACK MULLIGAN. He was one of the greats of all time, and I watched hundreds of his matches on TV and in person ... I remember while in college and watching him pin another "bad guy" in the 15th row of the Cumberland County Coliseum in Fayetteville, NC --- he blew the doors off the place and was wildly cheered. He carved his own unique niche in the Wrestling World and he was my Hero ! As he used to say, "BELIEVE WHAT I SAYYYY !"

He was always a gentle giant to me love him as a person. I know he regret his mistake RIP Blackjack was great knowing u put a good word to the big man for me!
