RIP Hot Rod. "Old School IS cool" and he was a huge part of the era that got me hooked on wrestling. His commentary, his matches, his promos-everything he did was special..He was still my Halloween costume just a few years ago. A ridiculously talented & entertaining performer and quality human being on top of it. My thoughts are with the Toombs family.
