Hi Scott-
Long time, no talk. Hope you are doing well.
Not sure you remember this, but apparently Crush didn't like Doink because his grandfather was a clown. No, seriously. Discovered this while working on this week's new induction.

Take care, my friend!

Thanks! You'll happy to know that I bought Death of WCW in Kindle format because I had an Amazon gift certificate, so hopefully you got a couple of bucks out of it. Maybe wanna throw a plug for my latest Kindle book covering all of 2003 somewhere? http://www.amazon.com/Scotts-Blog-Doom-Presents-ebook/dp/B0093EGBB6/ref=la_B001JS89P0_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1346987145&sr=1-6
Anyway, considering the color scheme of Crush's tights at the time, I think it was pretty safe to assume that his family was made up of circus performers. Hell, he even had experience painting his face!
