RIP Jim Herd

[The Thread Killer]

People are claiming the former WCW Executive passed away a few weeks ago, at age 87.

That’s very strange, because Herd did a Shoot Interview in 2021 (which I recapped HERE) during which he claimed he was 88 years old at that time.

That would have made him 93 at the time of his death, if my math is correct. I suppose he could have been lying, but why? I think it’s more likely that the reports that are coming out right now about his age are inaccurate.

Regardless, he definitely left a mixed at best legacy in the Pro Wrestling business. I can only assume the “don’t speak ill of the dead” rule will not apply when Ric Flair and Jim Cornette comment on this death.
