In a recent response to a tweet from Vintage Puroresu, Kevin Owens gave his thoughts and praise of Amazing Red and the impact he has had on the current crop of wrestlers in wrestling today. Vintage Puroresu stated “The Amazing Red / 2001. Some of the hardest stuff ever seen in the US. The mainstream wrestling wars were over, but the underground was about to reinvent the sport from the ashes. Not just an evolution of existing styles, but a whole new scene & philosophy.” Kevin Owens responded stating “The impact that this dude had on many of the current crop of talent at the forefront of the industry is hard to measure. I vividly remember watching countless highlight reels of him in the early 2000’s and talking about him with the guys I would train with every week when I got started. Special talent.“

I can say this experience has been eye opening, and the best thing to happen to me. We’re halfway there, Living on a Raddy Daddy Prayerrrr.“

In a recent interview with Wrestling Life Online, ECW legend and TNA Hall of Famer Raven gave his thoughts about his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis. Raven stated “Good. It’s good. I’ve had it for 10 years off and on. I say off and on, even though that doesn’t make any sense because I had a tremor for a couple of years, went to a neurologist. He said, ‘try getting off Depakote, a medication I was taking for sleeping and maybe it’ll go away cause it’s known to cause it.’ So I got off it and it went away for mostly for a couple of years. But then it came- the tremor started coming back. But other than I have a small hitch in my gait, in my walk, mainly it’s just a tremor. So it’s not anything that’s not manageable. So my sleep disorder is the worst part because I wake up exhausted. I wake up as tired as when I went to bed because I wake up 15, 20 times a night. On the upside, on the plus side, at least I can fall back asleep usually immediately. So, I’m always trying to look at the positives. I try not to look at the negative. I try not to dwell on things like negatives. I think the line at the end of the movie sums it up best.” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)
