  • Observer Feature: Terri Runnels on her Marlena run, history with the Rhodes family, more

    By Gary Mehaffy, special to WrestlingObserver.com

    Terri Runnels has been a recognizable face in the wrestling industry for well over 20 years. From her early days as Alexandra York in WCW to managing the enigmatic Goldust as Marlena in WWF/E, she has seen, and done, it all.

    In this 30 minute interview, I talked to Runnels about a variety of topics:

    – How she got into the industry

    – How she feels women have been treated by fans and workers alike

    – How the Goldust and Marlena characters developed from hated heels to beloved babyfaces

    – Her feeling that Brian Pillman was in a dark place the evening before he passed away

    – How Dusty Rhodes initially thought she was a gold digger when she began dating Dustin (something she found ironic, given that out of her and Dustin she was the one who owned a home and had money in the bank). 

    – We discuss what she will be up to at this year’s WrestleCon, whether or not we’ll ever see her and Dustin’s daughter Dakota in a wrestling ring – and even what her favourite breakfast is!

    This is a fun, insightful interview that I think everyone who is a fan of Terri’s will enjoy.

  • Blackjack Mulligan hospitalized; Bray Wyatt & Bo Dallas not at RAW

    Monday’s RAW lineup in Birmingham, AL, had to be changed somewhat as both Bo Dallas (Taylor Rotunda) and Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) flew home from Birmingham to Tampa as grandfather, Bob “Blackjack Mulligan” Windham, is in bad shape. 

    Mike Rotunda, a producer with WWE, Bob’s son-in-law, and the father of Wyatt and Dallas, flew home with his sons today as well. Both Bray and Bo did work WWE house shows Sunday night, so something obviously changed between then and today in order to cause their trip back.

    The 73-year-old Windham was hospitalized in June 2015 after suffering a heart attack. He and partner “Blackjack” Jack Lanza were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in April 2006. He worked all over the world as a tag team wrestler and as a singles wrestler in all of the key promotions, winning titles with Lanza, Ric Flair, and Dick Murdoch.

    We’ll discuss any updates or story developments on tonight’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio.
