tsn.ca: Wrestling (WCW, WWF, ECW, and Independants). Sad news of another loss in our sport's fabric.


I saw Ed on TV near the tail end of his career as a wrestling announcer... as the host of a show on TSN called Wrestling Plus. The show was an often innacurate mix-up of action from the independants (they even showed matches for a young wrestler named Wayne Ferris - who'd been known as the Honky Tonk Man for many years by then), and Ed seemed a bit too prim and proper... but years later I read about his involvement in Stampede, and his significance to Canada, as Gordon Solie was to Georgia and US Wrestling.


Goodbye Ed. Rest in peace.
