The big thing to happen for the women s division this February has obviously been the AEW Women s World Championship Eliminator Tournament, a 16-woman tournament to determine who will face Hikaru Shida at Revolution this upcoming Saturday. I ll be talking about those matches as we go in this piece, and once the actual tournament and resulting title match happen I ll probably write a piece talking about it, but my opinion thus far is as follows: The matches, for the most part, have been very good, some of them excellent! The way AEW has been promoting and airing the tournament has been far from excellent. In fact, I would describe the situation as piss poor if I were in a good mood.
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.
