NWA Great Bob Geigel passes!

Again another loss in the World of Professional Wrestling!
NWA Legend and CAC Mainstay Bob Geigel passes away at 90.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Bob for a few years. A Kansas City Promoter and Wrestler. Along with Tom Andrews and and The KC Boys, CAC would be expected at CAC to make a solid showing for the NWA and Central States Promotions.
Bob was a real gentleman and always gave advice to the young guys.
When you thought of scientific Wrestlers Bob was on top with Wilbur Snyder, Billy Robinson, Verne Gagne, and Nick Bockwinkel.
CAC won't be the same without Bob, and of course the recent passing of Manager Dr. Ken Ramey.
Thanks Bob for teaching, caring, and being a true part of Professional Wrestling!

One of The All Time Great Professional Wrestling Managers has gone on!

Dr. Ken Ramey put together Champions! The Interns, The Medics! Mysterious Masked Men of The Mat!
An avid bowler, Dr. Ken Ramey who CAC has named their Annual Bowling Tournament after was a genius as in this business!
I interviewed Dr. Ken last year, and stayed in touch by phone.
He could make me laugh, yet have me on the edge of my seat when he told stories of the road!
Tom Andrews told me how the not only had to deal with their opponents, but had to watch Dr. Kens safety as fans would not appreciate him and his crew!
Dr. Ken Ramey will be remembered at Classicprofessionalwrestling.blogspot.com!

Dr Ken and His Briefcase! He's in a safe spot!

Loss of a friend and Mat Great! Ox Baker

"The Fabulous" Ox Baker known for his Heart Punch and loud vocals has passed away.
Many people are posting his matches but I wanted to put Ox in a different light.
We met in Chicago in the Mid 1980's. I was a EMT for Promoter Brad Davis and Promoter Sam Decero.
I brought him to my house to meet me father. Ox and him talked like old friends and he treated my dad with respect.
Sure, he was a 300lb tough guy, but he was so many other things.
He enjoyed cooking, and animal care.
He loved to be funny(In his own way) and even raise peoples temperitures at times!
We traveled throughout Chicago and Southern Illinois.
Although his health was failing, he kept making appearences.
Ox had the "Heart Punch", but he also had heart!
We had you for 80 years and I know I am thankful that we were friends and stayed in tough.
Thanks for being Ox Baker!
