WRESTLING CHATTERBOX UPDATE FOR MAY 10th

- Georgiann Makropoulos
ECW, Pre-sale codes, deaths in wrestling, See No Evil and much more…
WWE has already signed the following to contracts:
Sabu, Ball Mahoney, CW Anderson, The Sandman, Francine, Jazz, Danny Doring, Tony Mamaluke and Axl Rotten to be part of the new ECW.
Paul Heyman is the point man on Creative. Tommy Dreamer is the Talent Relations person reporting to John Laurinaitis. I feel that RVD will be a major star in ECW, and will become the whole F'N show again.

Wrestling Online: RIP Eric Youngson Condolences to the Youngson family.
"YOUNGSON, Eric Michael 28 years, passed away surrounded by his family's love at Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital on Sunday, May 7, 2006. Loving son of Ken and Sharron Youngson. Dearest brother of Peter and Karen Youngson and Ian Youngson and Christal Harrison. Dearest uncle and Godfather of Alexander. Dear Godson of Lynn and Timm Carr. Also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins. Eric will be fondly remembered by many beloved friends. Visitation will be held at the Anderson Funeral Home & Cremation Centre, 895 Ouellette Ave. (254-3223) on Tuesday from 7-9 p.m. and Wednesday from 2-5 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral Services will be held in the Anderson Memorial Chapel on Thursday, May 11, 2006 at 11:00 a.m. Father David Boutette officiating. Memorial donations made to the Alzheimer Society or the charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family."
I had the pleasure of meeting Eric and training him to become a professional wrestler in 1998. Bret Nikita, Youngson, Kid Awesome, Miles Long and Shane Madison were the first and only students in my and Professor Maxwell's school here in Windsor.
He wrestled for BCW on 2 occasions. Once in 1998 on the D'Amore vs Honky Tonk Man show versus Carl Leduc and in the first ever Doug Chevalier Memorial Tag Tourney teaming with Nikita vs Geza and Dyson.
He spent the majority of his career in OWA and OCW as well as in Michigan Indys. I had the honour of managing him on several occasions and we had the hilarious idea we used a couple times where he wrestled as a character called Destructacon. To this day, one of my favourite Indy matches I have seen and I have on tape is him vs Nikita from Detroit where I wrecked a brand new suit and Nikita hit a sick looking splash off the top rope for the win.
Youngson wasn't the most talented wrestler in the world, but he could bump and sell and was genuinely a good guy. Even after he started wrestling for OCW he was always the first to say Hi and Bye. He will be missed...

Memphis - Trucker pleads guilty in dwarf's death
An Ohio truck driver pleaded guilty to charges in the death of a dwarf who was crushed by his tractor-trailer tires.
George Freeman, 51, of Cleveland, was sentenced to 55 days in jail,, which he has already served, for the Sept. 30, 2003 death of Charles Zebroski, who was panhandling at an exit ramp of Interstate 40 in east Shelby County.
Zebroski, who was 4 feet 6 inches tall, had worked with elephants in the Ringling Brothers circus and as a professional wrestler known as "Mighty Mo". He had been out of work because of back problems related to being a dwarf, his brother said.
Witnesses said Freeman began turning left off the ramp but continued straight onto the entrance ramp to the interstate. The back of the trucks trailer bumped a guardrail and Zebroski was hit as he tried to climb over the rail, state prosecutor Kirby May said.
Freeman told authorities he didn't know he had hit Zebroski until about 40 minutes later when he stopped at a truck scale about 30 miles east of the scene of the incident. Charges of leaving the scene of an accident against Freeman were later dropped. May said neither alcohol nor speed were a factor.
