Pro Wrestling lost a good friend and legend on May 13th - Penny Banner.
Go to Penny's website if you would like to pay your respects: www.BannerDays.com
Penny Banner was a friend to all at the Cauliflower Alley Club where I first met her in 2002. We compared back ailments and I wiggled my broken nose for her to her delight. When a group formed around Penny, the same question always came up. "What was it like to date Elvis Presley," Penny would respond as if it were the first time it had been asked of her, with dignity, charm and grace.
Her loss should make us all wonder why such a rare embodiment of kindness and good will should ever be removed from this earth. Penny passed away on my 60th birthday. I will never forget you.
Pro Wrestling lost another legend on June 23rd - Tulsa's own - Oni Wiki Wiki
Oni Wiki Wiki would come around and visit us at practices back in 1997. I would coax him to get into the ring and with our guys. Try as I might, he would never agree to it. Instead, he would sit down with me and we would talk for hours. The Wikster was a true Kayfabe warrior, right to the end.
