Loss Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Posted May 11, 2011 This is a really classy, emotional segment that feels far more real and less overdone than most sendoffs, and I'm including Flair on Raw in that category even. Quote
Kevin Ridge Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 Great stuff. Definitely felt genuine. Quote
PeteF3 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 Adulation all around for the Destroyer, with hugs from Baba and his family (including Mrs. Dan Spivey, I would assume). Quote
soup23 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Beautiful sendoff with the Destroyer and quite the moment watching him retire with the emotions being spread throughout his family and colleagues. Quote
garretta Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 I couldn't understand a word of this, but you didn't need to know Japanese to know how genuinely special and emotional this moment was. This is how to retire with class; no overwrought video packages, no "celebrations" with people whom the retiree barely knew, no weepy declarations of the guy being the best who ever lived until it's time for the next guy with a big name to call it quits. It was beautiful stuff. The two women in the ring had to be Beyer's wife and daughter, but who was the son-in-law who looked like a wrestler? Someone mentioned Danny Spivey up above, and the size fits, but if it's really him I never knew his hair was bleached. Quote
Tim Cooke Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 That was actually his kid who was a wrestlers for a couple of years in the early 90's Kurt Beyer Quote
garretta Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 Okay, so the other woman must have been his daughter-in-law. Thanks, Tim! Quote
