Gary Hart Doing What He Loved Until The End

Posted: Mar 17th 2008 By: CMBurnham

This past Friday night, the crew here at Kayfabe Commentaries had the pleasure of spending the evening with Gary Hart. We intended to leave with a new edition of Guest Booker, which we did. But we also left with something more.

The impression left by Gary transcends that of the wrestling business. Of course, the time we spent shooting accomplished his solidification of being one of the greatest bookers ever. But the time we spent socially painted him as a kind man; a smart man; a man with a genuine interest in people. On the wrestling front, he was old school to the core. He was Chicago-tough, always traveling with his straight-edge razor to wrestling venues.

We are greatly saddened by this loss. We are bittersweetly happy to have chronicled his amazing booking mind forever. But the world's loss of such a man is always tragic, superceding any chronicle we might have created. Our thoughts extend to those that knew him far more intimately than us. And ultimately to his family, of whom he spoke so fondly, during our short time together.
