Kowalski remembered by Triple H

In light of sports-entertainment’s tremendous loss in Kowalski’s passing, The Game adjusted his focus from the WWE Championship Scramble to his long-time mentor.

“He wouldn’t go down for the three count; his body kept going and going,” The Game reflected. “It’s a huge loss. Walter was one of the biggest name performers of his time. His legacy will live on forever.”

On Aug. 8, the WWE Legend fell ill due to a heart attack, shocking the entire sports-entertainment world. Kowalski’s legion of fans from all around the world, former students and Superstars – including Triple H – flooded his hospital room with get-well cards, gifts, and phone calls.

Triple H recalled as a student that “when guys would screw up, [Kowalski] would hit them in the back of the head with a phone book.”

Joking aside, the 12-time World Champion also reminisced when he first signed with WWE and traveled on the road with his mentor.

“He was such a very unique character,” The Game said. “When we got in sometimes at 3 a.m., he’d knock on my door at 5:30 a.m., because he was ready to go eat breakfast.”

“Walter was a vegetarian; trying to find a place with a salad bar at 5:30 in the morning isn’t the easiest thing to do,” said the WWE Champion, with a slight grin on his face. “It was an interesting time. I enjoyed his company. He will be greatly missed.”...More?

TS: I was doing baseball in the mid-1980s at Charlotte in the Southern League
and it just so happened that the family that owned the team also promoted
wrestling. They needed a wrestling announcer part time. I was practically starving
back then and needed the money. We had two kids and one on the way. A year
later, I was making more doing wrestling part time than I was baseball full time...More?
