SirEdger Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Sad to hear. I didn't know that he was sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Very sad to hear. and then we have the WWE statement on his passing which begins.... "Despite never winning a WWE-sanctioned championship or competing at WrestleMania, Jose Lothario – born Guadalupe Robledo on Dec. 12, 1934 – made a lasting mark on the WWE Universe by simply agreeing to train a cocky teenager from San Antonio, Texas. A cocky teenager that grew up to become WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels." Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herodes Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I heard that cocky teenager grew up to achieve his boyhood dream? i have heard good things about him but only know him as “Chawn’s” creepy uncle in 1996. Any matches worth checking out on the network? I have avoided the dark days of world class pre 83 but there must be some super sock gems.

Check out Lothario vs Bugsy McGraw from ep 13 (3/20/82) of WCCW on the Network. Killer little match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilTLL Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 We shared a birthday--shared it with Frank Sinatra, in fact--but they could both throw better punches than me. What was the name of the Houston ring announcer in the Mid-South period who always enunciated everything so well? HO-ZAYYYYYYYY LOOOOO-THAAAAR-EEEEE-OOOOO...

A lot of the higher end Houston NWA On Demand is being uploaded to YouTube by various folks as well since that service went kaput last year. I believe all the matches against Gino Hernandez are on YT somewhere now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coyote Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Curious why Dave omitted the reason Shawn and Jose had a falling out (disagreement over money with Shawn's wrestling school). Dave reported it several times in the past but left the obituary up to interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember him mentioning it when I reread a bunch of the Observers on the archive, what was the cause of the falling out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
