I was planning on attending but had a last minute change of plans. I'm going to try to stop by tomorrow for Day 2 of the event.
Quite a bit of Coverage on TV, Radio, Newspapers, etc. for the event. Hopefully this will become an annual event in South Milwaukee.

Jerry Lawler was not able to attend but Baron Von Raschke and Kenny Jay were at the event.

Read the Milwaukee newspaper account! The artist did a fantastic job on the statue! Only thing missing was the "Crush" smoking one of his big cigars -- but I suppose the anti-tobacco Nazis would have pitched a fit!

Had my own private celebration listening to a cassette tape I had made of the "Crusher's" AWA tv show interviews!

I tweeted Lawler yesterday asking him what happened, but he never replied. I would be interested in knowing why he no-showed.

I feel bad if people made the trip to see see Lawler, but I don't think it would have been many.
It was great that Raschke and Kenny Jay showed up. They are the only peers of The Crusher who went as far as I know.

I heard Baron was great on the mic. A friend of mine sent me pics, looks like it was a good time and very well attended.

Edit: Sounds like Lawlers flight was delayed. He was going to try and still make it once he arrived.
