It's amazing that Sonny lived for another four-decades-plus after suffering those lung and heart injuries in the stabbing incident in 1982 - and after being a pro boxer and pro wrestler, which are not exactly professions that are known for prolonging people's lives. Some people are just made from tougher materials than most of us. It's unfortunate in a way, that he had to retire right at the beginning of the wrestling TV boom in the 1980s, but it probably added more than a couple of years to his life later on.

If I'm not mistaken, Sonny's last WWWF match was at the Springfield Civic Center in MA against Freddie Blassie in April 1973. Sonny suffered a broken wrist in the match and while he was recuperating his contract ran out. Sonny came into WWWF in late 1971 and left in spring of '73, and when he healed up he got the gig for the Crocketts.

R.I.P sunny King, can't wait for Jim to review Uncle Howdy's promo which sounded very theatrical and like school drama. Bo Dallas trying to immitate Bray's way of cutting promo definitely made it feel goofy and whacky it didn't sound authentic as it supposed to be.

Sonny King I'll always remember for having a great Gimmick especially for The Seventies. Wisely it was never mentioned out loud on Camera. Sonny King would appear on TV as a Villain's Hype guy in Dothan or Memphis or Tampa or Atlanta and deliver a Promo with a Lollipop planted firmly in his mouth. The whole Routine was a fine nod to TV Superstar Telly Savalas who Played "Kojak."😂🎤🍭🤼‍♂️B.W.

I saw a comment on Facebook that said "Cornette will Bury this match because he wishes he had done it 30 years ago" AEW fanboys are something else. Seriously AEW needs to go away. ECW messed up a lot of kids and it was hard to find ECW on tv. This garbage will do more harm than ECW ever did. Where do we go from this? Tommy dreamer wanted to be shot these idiots might fn do it. Unless Tony wants to sabotage himself go off TV and that will be the excuse to put an end to this. There is no reason for what went down Saturday none.

If I'm not mistaken...When in the Mid-South territory, Ernie Ladd always called Sonny King "Mr. Clean"😂 Also, if I'm not mistaken, Hercules "dislocated" Sonny King's shoulder beating on it with Jim Duggan's 2x4. Man, I wanted to jump through the TV & beat up Hercules for that. I was a kid & may be thinking of someone else...But I'm pretty sure that was Sonny King. Please tell me if I've confused myself.

When it's uploaded its uploaded its pointless commenting it won't make it appear any quicker. Then when they do upload the All Out reaction it'll be people like you posting a comment below that saying "I'm waiting for (add a thing that's happened here)" and so on and so on.
