was she his wife and where is she now? A Ragu jar full of methane like gas

I went to see Big Daddy "wrestle" around 93-94 when I was in Blackpool. The
venue was the Sandcastle and they had cheesy Bret and Hogan photo's outside the
venue to attract more fans in. The event was shit and BD was just for
exhibition. He later sat next to the ring and signed autographs for people and
when I skipped the cue he told me to "fuck off".

Spike, you're a killer. And I should've done this years ago.
You know what? Do it. Bloody just do it.
What?
End...my...torment. Seeing you every day, everywhere I go, every time I turn
around. Take me...out of a world...that has you in it! Just kill me!

Didn't Big Daddy Shirley Crabtree kill a guy in the ring 15 years ago. He
came off the top for a splash on a guy named King Kong Kirk or something and
ruptured pretty much every vital organ?

LOL! Big Daddy doing a 5 star!!!!!!!
If I can be serious for a moment... Big Daddy's finisher was just a
Mark Henry type splash, no top rope, no run up, just a splash.
But yes, as The Vick remembers it, the Mal "King Kong" Kirk incident
was what effectively removed the Kent Walton promotion from "World Of
Sport" in the late 80's (1987?). Basically, Big Daddy gave Kirk a
splash and when Kirk didn't move, the paramedics took him from the
ring and IIRC, he was DOA. I have to confess that until reading the
stories in the press (in the days before the internet) I wasn't aware
of kayfabe. But then again, what 12/13 year olds are? IIRC too, Big
Daddy retired immediately and blamed himself until he died a few years
ago. AFAIK, the coroner who did the autopsy said that Kirk had a
previously undiagnosed heart problem and could have died at any time.
