Rocky “Soul Man” Johnson, a WWE Hall of Fame wrestler who became better known as the father of the actor Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, has died. He was 75.

World Wrestling Entertainment issued a statement about his death on Wednesday night. Johnson and Tony Atlas became the first black world tag-team champions in WWE history when they defeated the Wild Samoans on 10 December 1983. WWE did not give details on the cause or location of Johnson’s death.

“A loss for every fan of @WWE, Rocky Johnson was a barrier-breaking performer. Our thoughts are with his family at this time,” tweeted the WWE executive and wrestler Paul “Triple H” Levesque.

Johnson helped to train his son, the Rock, who adopted the moniker from his father. Johnson came to his son’s aid after a match at WrestleMania in 1997. The Rock inducted his father into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008.

The former professional wrestler Brian Blair, another 1980s WWE star, was friends with Johnson for many years and they still went to church together in Tampa, Florida. Blair said that Johnson had complained of an unspecified illness and lately had missed church. Blair said Johnson’s wife, Sheila, was distraught over her husband’s death.


Blair said: “He was just under the weather, he thought he had the flu or something. I said, ‘You need to get checked out, Rocky.’ He said he’d be OK. Then he missed this Sunday, a few days ago. When I talked to him again, he said he still wasn’t feeling good and he still missed church. He still didn’t get checked out. I talked to Sheila and she said he was just being stubborn. He died at home, today.”

Johnson was born Wayde Douglas Bowles and began his wrestling career in the mid-1960s. He spent the majority of his career in the National Wrestling Alliance and later joined the then World Wrestling Federation in the 1980s. He formed a tag team with Atlas, known as “Soul Patrol”, and became one of the popular teams of the era. Johnson retired in the early 1990s, but helped introduce his son to officials at WWE.

Meanwhile Lev's interview with Maddow is trump's own smoking gun. I couldn't hold my breath yesterday.
Lev has buried Trump. The dude is fvcked.

Lev and Geulliani were Trump's appointed men sent to Ukraine to work against Biden. Lev tied everything together last night and did not spare Nunes.

This is why Trump refused to allow anyone testify from his camp. He knows he is guilty as hell.

Unfortunately I think this will effectively remove Trump from office and also set Mike Pence up for impeachment as well if he takes over from Trump.

Pelosi has given a master stroke

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi signed a resolution Wednesday afternoon authorizing seven trial managers to deliver the articles of impeachment against President Trump to the Senate. Opening arguments in President Trump's Senate trial will begin on Tuesday, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - After weeks of rhetorical fire and fury, a handful of U.S. House members walked quietly across a hushed Capitol on Wednesday to deliver articles of impeachment to the Senate, paving the way for the trial of President Donald Trump.


Led by the House of Representatives’ sergeant at arms and the House clerk carrying the documents on a tray, seven House managers walked through a nearly empty Statuary Hall and the soaring Capitol rotunda.

More than a dozen Senate Democrats sat silently at their desks when the group arrived at the Senate. They were joined by two Republicans, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senator Kevin Cramer.

A third Republican, Chuck Grassley, presided from the dais.

The House members were politely ushered to a bench at the rear of the Senate chamber, where they sat in silence as the House clerk announced the impeachment resolution had passed, and Grassley responded: “The message will be received.”

The procession took place four weeks after the Democratic-led House voted to impeach the Republican president on charges of abuse of power for asking Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden and obstruction of Congress for blocking information sought by investigators.

Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and McConnell have since feuded over how to conduct the trial.

Pelosi delayed signing the impeachment articles while she waited for word from McConnell about the trial’s scope. During the delay, Democrats and Republicans squabbled over Trump’s status because he had been impeached, but had not had his trial.

Pelosi used a few dozen pens to sign, at a desk bearing a placard reading #DefendOurDemocracy. Afterward, she handed pens to the impeachment managers and committee chairs involved in the investigation.

“It makes a funny signature,” she said.

Reflecting the deep partisan divide, the House vote to impeach Trump was nearly along party lines. Many of his fellow Republicans in the Senate have made clear they view the impeachment as a political stunt by Democrats as Trump seeks re-election in the November election.

The dispute did not end when the articles were handed over.

Senate Republicans said Democrats would have to repeat the delivery on Thursday. McConnell said he had invited the House managers to exhibit the articles at noon before U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts swears in the senators.

“We will pledge to rise above petty factionalism and do justice for our institutions, for our states, and for the nation,” McConnell said in a statement.

The trial starts on Tuesday after a holiday weekend.

As at when GEJ handed over he left a loan of about $63b for Buhari and since then till recently Buhari only added $10b to the loan. So tell me if GEJ alone could amass a debt profile of $63b what nonsense are you then trying to pull out of your ass by lying that Buhari has taken loans which are more than what PDP took in 16 years?

lexy2014:
Oga, don't get emotional cos in d end u will find out that it would have better if u didn't say anything. When $1b was allocated in 2018, for what purpose was it allocated? B4 it was decided that d $1b is to be allocated, did d govt not know how it was going to spend d $1b so as to achieve d aim for which d money was allocated for?

Pls answer this urself
3) If at 95% completion $1.5b is required to finish the work, could it be possible that they left the most expensive parts as the last parts to be finished?

because if an amount was allocated for "COMPLETION", then y would an aspect of d work be left out? With all ur brain that u use, aren't u aware that before funds are allocated, a plan is made how d funds will be used? With all ur brain, don't u no that costing is done b4 allocation to arrive at d amount to be allocated? How was costing done for "COMPLETION" and yet u say "they left the most expensive parts as the last parts to be finished?" Does that sound logical to u? Am not surprised at your level of reasoning.

With all ur brain that u are using, u are still showing a lot of intellectual deficiency. Look at how u ridiculed urself here:

2) What if an important upgrade was required after assessment which necessitated the addition 500m?

Was d cost of completion increased by $500m or by $1.5b?

Let me show u something. Now after costing, $1b was arrived at as d amount needed for COMPLETION. If d $1b was able to complete 95-98% of d job, it means that whatever is left of d job shouldn't cost up to $1b not to talk of it now costing $1.5b. I hope I have triggered ur thinking faculty a little bit cos from d look of things u seem to be d one who is "thinking from the bottom of a bottle of gin".

Meanwhile, I don't no what grouse u have with GEJ as I don't remember having any discussion with u about him
Are you sure your brain is not a pile of dog poo?

If $1b was allocated in 2018 for completion was any work done there at all with the allocated money? Have you forgotten that it was in the same 2018 the FG was considering selling it off or even privatizing it? This should tell you no work was done there and now that they have decided to finish it and get it working as it should have if PDP had done their work in the 16yrs of their leadership failures they have now done a reassessment and seen that for completion it would cost $1.5b.

That sum is not an additional cost because no work was done there in 2018 despite the allocation. That allocation was returned as unspent money in the budget of that year.

Na wa for your brain o. Tueh!

lexy2014:
since u say it is humongous, I was expecting u to do a breakdown. U don't have to be a QS b4 u question certain decisions. Pls read again:

$1b was allocated for completion of ajaokuta in 2018. That means, it is expected that d $1b allocated then should have completed ajaokuta irrespective of whatever equipment u are making reference to. And if d $1b wasn't enough for whatever reason, d cost of completion wouldn't amount to $1.5b which is higher than d initial $1b allocated for completion in 2018 taking into cognizance d fact that d minister says that ajaokuta is 95-98% complete. It means $1.5b is being allocated for d remaining 3-5% of d completion. Does that sound like a judicious use of funds? U don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that it doesn't sound right except u just want to support anything as long as it is buhari
You clearly lack the commonest of sense. So since it is said to be at 95% completion means the 5% left uncompleted must cost a meager sum right? Have you even bothered to jumpstart the part of your brain that reasons right and allowed it to ask the right questions like

1) What is left undone in the steel plant?

2) What if an important upgrade was required after assessment which necessitated the addition 500m?

3) If at 95% completion $1.5b is required to finish the work, could it be possible that they left the most expensive parts as the last parts to be finished?

Use your head and stop thinking from the bottom of a bottle of gin like your Otuoke Hero
