He was one of the biggest wrestling and sports fanatics we knew he never missed a match or a pay preview. Anytime he would watch an event he would put on a show just as entertaining whether it was his Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots or beloved Lakers, we knew it would always be fun to be in the audience with him. From Magic and Kobe to Bruiser Brody and the Bullet club "We always cheer for the bad guys!” Was his favorite saying.
