I remember reading in 'Apter magazines' as a teenager, in the very early 1990's, of his name.
I remember how difficult it was to get SMW tapes back in the early 1990's in the UK. Chris and Tammy were two of the main reasons (Jericho and Storm as the Thrillseekers were the other), that I went out of my way to get these tapes which I still have today.
I remember thinking 'what HAVE they done to him?' when he became a Body Donna, but then figured that at least it was bigger money and worldwide exposure.
I remember worrying about him, as the stories would come out of his personal demons. I remember actually praying that someone I loved to watch would overcome this.
I remember a man who was always entertaining, be it in WWF, WCW, SMW, ECW, and wherever he was.
I remember being thrilled that he and Tammy had sorted their lives out from what it could of been.
I remember quizzing one particular Florida based worker friend of mine about what they were like as people.
I remember the happiness I felt that he had got back on track with IWA-MS, and TNA.
I remember finally being in a position to consider booking Chris in the United Kingdom, and chasing a price to bring him over.
And now.....the only thing that stops me from breaking down in tears....is that I remember that someone who I only ever heard good things about, is surely wrestling main events in Heaven already.
God Bless, Chris.
