[Loss]

Talk about it here.

A graphic of Louis accompanied by the bell ringing is shown. Shame that his demons got the best of him as he is my age when he died.

Just a quick ringing of the bell before the show goes on, the story of wrestling in a nutshell sadly.

Lots of red flags for Spicoli leading up to this, sadly. This would be followed by a rather infamous moment later on, where Zbyszko refused to break character when talking about him, saying only that he wouldn't say anything at all "out of respect for his family." Huge, huge amounts of online criticism to Larry Z for that, mostly justified. This wasn't 1981 where it was vital to maintain kayfabe hatred for Bruno in and out of the ring.

I remember being super smark at this time and wanting to have Zbyszko's head. I've always hated him anyway.
