What a great tribute! I was a kid in Montana and Stampede was the only wrestling show we had on TV. I didn't miss the weekly show. After 74 years on this planet and watching virtually every North American wrestling televised show, Ed and Dick Lane (of Los Angeles) were easily the best announcers. I loved Ed's interviews of Tiger Joe Tomaso and Sterling Gaylord ("Tell us, Sterling. How is your mother doing"). It is nice to see he is so well remembered, and has such a nice headstone in such a beautiful setting. RIP, Ed.

JCVC you do a lot of videos about Graves etc and there's nothing wrong with that at all. You be you.
However, one doesn't go from being alive to unalive. One goes from being alive to being even more alive and on an exponential level.
Those friends who died, they would all say in common, "Don't you worry about a thing. Our friendship is on another level. If you could see me now. I don't remember the details. I inky remember the love."
The array of powers that those in the afterlife have are unimaginable. They exist in a time dynamic where time travel is time experienced on an objective level and not on a subjective level. That's what Einstein meant when he said linear time is an illusion all is happening simultaneously.
Psychics say that those who have graduated to the majorly phase of life send us signs. There is direct communication, indirect communication and there is signs. At first it seems that the direct form is the most direct. In time one finds that the direct is least direct because people can lie and that signs are the most direct from of communication.
I wish you the best. Your videos are life changing. Very high quality. There is something nostalgic about them I like the Jericho Hostel and the Vancouver Museum and the Vancouver Maritime Museum videos of yours the best.
