The death of Tom Cole this week takes us back to one of the most sordid pro wrestling stories of the last 50 years, which involved media heavyweights at the time like Phil Donahue, Larry King, Geraldo Rivera and Phil Mushnick. It s the lead story of a new double issue of the Observer.
We look at the story and its tragic end this past week and all the key characters involved. We look at Cole s death, what exactly happened to him, different media appearances at the time, the WWF first settling his case, the unique plans for the Phil Donahue show, at the time the leading daytime talk show in the U.S. with a gigantic audience and how Vince McMahon planned the show and why it never transpired the way it was planned. Cole s memories of what happened, and things that triggered his past including a first suicide attempt that few knew about. This is a major piece of wrestling history that has been largely hidden except from those who were around at the time.

Hello 411 guys, gals, enbies, and everyone else! Welcome to 411’s WWE Elimination Chamber 2020 preview! I’m Jeremy Thomas as always, and it’s time to take a look at the latest WWE PPV on the Road to WrestleMania. This year’s Chamber matches seem a little less thrown-together than we’ve had in recent memory, and while we only have five matches that will hopefully give the ‘E plenty of time to make the most of each of the bouts. Anyway, let’s jump in and see what’s currently on tap, shall we?

-Cole introduced the show as cameras panned ThunderDome. It’s award-winning and critically acclaimed, if you hadn’t heard.
-Edge made his full ring entrance. They went to Cole and Graves at ringside who talked about Edge’s opportunity to choose his opponent for WrestleMania. Edge said it’s good to be back on Smackdown. He talked about Drew McIntyre defending his WWE Title in the Elimination Chamber and Roman Reigns defending his Universal Title against the winner of the Smackdown Chamber. He said the decision he makes is the biggest of his career. Reigns’s music interrupted.
Current WWE Elimination Chamber Betting Odds
The Elimination Chamber is just a few days away and this pay-per-view will be the last of its kind in a way. With WWE’s new deal with Peacock going into effect on March 18, the Elimination Chamber will be the last pay-per-view on the WWE Network before it merges with Peacock.
There are currently five matches scheduled with one of them contingent on the winner of another match. There will be an Elimination Chamber match for each brand with the Raw match being for the WWE Championship as current title holder Drew McIntyre is among the contestants. The winner of the SmackDown Chamber match will then later that night face Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship.
