The following statement is a public response to Dawn Marie’s open letter regarding Wrestlers Rescue which featured on several wrestling websites earlier this week:

For the last three years Dawn Marie has promoted Wrestlers Rescue as a charity to raise monies to help and support the health care needs of retired professional wrestlers. During that time Dawn has sent me numerous emails asking my help to spread word of her fund raising activities through my writings relating to this project. I duly obliged in most instances.

On behalf of myself, the Wrestlers’ Rescue organization, and the many volunteers and donors, I’d like to strenuously deny and condemn the false and baseless defamatory statements currently circulating concerning an alleged investigation and or corruption in Wrestlers’ Rescue. Not only are the accusations false they contain no merit and they are disrespectful to the volunteers who have invested their time, energies, and hearts into helping former professional wrestlers in need. These statements (most of which appear to have begun following comments made by Mike Aldren) are defamatory and contain no basis or fact. These unfounded false allegations have put at risk our efforts to help the former stars who currently face major personal, medical, and financial crises. The damage these falsehoods may have done to real people (not wrestling “characters”) is immeasurable.

BURT RUFF
1966 – 2010

 
I was very saddened yesterday to learn of the passing of Burt Ruff in Winnipeg at age 44. Burt succumbed to cancer.

Burt was born in Winnipeg on April 29, 1966 and was trained by Terry Tomko prior to debuting in Winnipeg in 1991 for the Canadian Wrestling League. Best known by the ring name “Big Mikey”, Burt was active on the Winnipeg wrestling scene from 1991 to 1994, wrestling at local community centre and nightclub shows. He made a brief comeback in the fall of 2001 for Bobby Jay’s Top Rope Championship Wrestling.
