Hey everyone, Pro Wrestling Radio will return Saturday 05/27 live with UFC Middleweight Champion, Rich "Ace" Franklin and open lines. Rich will break down UFC 60 and talk Hughes-Gracie, give his insight as last season's Ultimate Fighter coach on this season and the Shamrock-Ortiz dynamic, his next fight, Brock Lesnar's chances in UFC/MMA, the UFC explosion, and more. This should be a fun interview as Rich will join the show around 12:30 PM/EST. For more information on Rich, check out his website at http://www.richfranklin.com .UFC 60 features Matt Huges vs. Royce Gracie and will air live on pay per view this Saturday night! I will also have open lines before and after Rich calls into the show. Since Saturday's UFC features what some would call a dream match in UFC, I want to hear from you what would be the ultimate pro wrestling dream match? Who would you put in DX? Do you like the direction of this year's ECW One Night Stand featuring inter-brand matches?

I just read your article on WrestlingFigs.com where you mentioned the passing of "Cowboy" Bob Yuma. I wanted to drop you a quick note and thank you for mentioning him. Bob was a great man and was one of my very best friends. He truly was a class act all the way around. He didn't have the ego that a lot of wrestlers get. His goal was to always
put over his crew. That was the main reason he started doing the annual "Old Timers" reunion and had me start the Arizona Wrestling Legends website (www.AZWL.org or www.AZWrestlingLegends.com ) a few years ago.
It wasn't so much for him, but he wanted to see his friends get the attention he thought they deserved.
Bob was 55 when he passed away. I went to the hospital twice during his final few days and I can tell you it was absolutely heart-breaking to see this great man struggling so hard just to draw a breath. He was way to young to go out that way. At least now, his suffering is over.
We're having a memorial gathering for him on Sunday. That will be nice. He was my hero and my friend and I miss him a lot.
Thanks again, Georgie, for taking the time to mention "Cowboy" Bob. I sincerely appreciate it.
Take care and God bless. Tim Hicks
