Talk:Big Bill Studebaker

A Eulogy for the late and great Studebaker: By Biff Andreas

I have to say.. this really caught me off guard. I only met Big Bill a couple of times during my tenure as a professional wrestler, but in all honesty, Studebaker's passing has dealt me a very big emotional blow.

When you were in a room with the man, he just had this power to make everybody feel good. He had that effect on people, and when he was in the ring.. he embodied the passion and the drive to be one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

I remember when I competed at CAWllision IV! I was set to wrestle the Platinum Age alongside one of my best friends, Shawn Dynasty, and he gave me some words of encouragement right after his explosive debut against CYBERDOMAINIAN.

"If you have diabetes, you need to check your blood sugar, and check it often" he said to me as our entrance music began to play and I walked towards the entrance ramp. I suppose it is kind of ironic since his life would be taken from us by the wicked disease three years later.

I vow to never forget that moment as long as I live. My only regret is that I never got to compete against him at CAWllision V..

Good bye, Big Bill.. I'll miss you.. - Biff Andreas -
