Birthdays and Notables
-“Brooklyn Brawler” Steve Lombardi is 65.
-Ed “Wahoo” McDaniel died at age 63 on April 18, 2002. He was awaiting a kidney transplant and died of complications from diabetes and renal failure.
-Happy birthday to Dot Net staffer Colin McGuire, who probably thinks I wrote this Saturday edition of Dot Net Weekly and WWE picked this date to start WrestleMania because of his stupid birthday. Fine, I’ll be nice. It’s great to have Colin back with his McGuire’s Monthlies blogs. And happy belated birthday to Colin’s son and future Hall of Fame heel, Cillian, who turned two on Friday. Cillian was born less than five hours before his father’s 40th birthday.
