The local wrestling scene has lost Andy Harpas, who has sadly passed away. Andy wrestled during the days of World Championship Wrestling in Australia, and at one time wrestled Andre the Giant. In the days following the demise of WCW, Andy played a great part in helping to keep professional wrestling alive during that difficult time - as a promoter and trainer. Many wrestlers and a number of wrestling promoters owe their careers and opportunities to Andy.
I post this, as I know there are quite a number of wrestlers and ex-wrestlers in the Bulldogs family, with a good few in The Kennel. Many, along with fans of local wrestling, will have met, known or worked for Andy over the years. From my experience, he was a terrific guy, and I always enjoyed his company.
My condolences to his family and friends.
May he Rest in Peace.
