Unfortunate Circumstances

By -
I just found out some very sad news it is that former Pro-Wrestler Mike Gosset better known as the son of Wrestling Legend Eddie Gosset or Graham. I am referring to Mike Graham he was 61 years old we have found out that sadly Mike took his own life. Mike started wrestling in 1972 for his father Eddie in his dad's company Championship Wrestling from Florida. By the way Championship Wrestling from Florida was an NWA territory back in the day. For those who may think that Eddie pushed his son just because it's his son well your wrong Mike never really reached Main Event status. As during his career Mike was considered more of tag team wrestler as he held 25 total tag team titles thought his career various territories. But for the most part he had a majority of his success in Florida obviously where he won every CWF title including being 16 time tag team champion. The things that caught my attention is that for the most part he always changed his partners as during his career he massed a total of 9 different tag partner over his 25 title reigns.
After Mike's active wrestling career ended he stayed within the business acting as a Road Agent for WCW, and later on for indy companies TCW & XWF. He also was on the booking commitee in WCW around 1999 & was a trainer in the WCW Power Plant. More recently Mike worked with WWE doing various projects for Classics on Demand but probably the most rewarding was inducting his father into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2008.

In closing I offer my deepest condolences to Mike's family, friends, & fans from the stories I have heard about Mike he was a great man and the Wrestling business has suffered yet another great loss.
RIP Mike Graham

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match. However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo

WZR is reporting that the future of WWE diva Kelly Kelly may be in doubt not that WWE would fire her but that the time off she is taking now may be permenate. Kelly who debuted 6 years ago hasnt really taken any time away from the ring since debut and many think she is burnt out from all the travel. Because of that many feel will not return to WWE but management isnt happy because they feel she is their most marketable diva. While away she is looking into doing things that have nothing do with wrestling as her placement in the Maxim top 100 has opended a lot of doors for her away from WWE. I hope Kelly or WWE dont burn the bridge preventing a possible return for Kelly if she does decide to go away from WWE becuase she is a very marketable talent. The future for the now Former Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis still isnt complete termination as it seems he is making a change from an office employee to a guy on the road. As he is apparently booking the house
