I also had Sir Edmund Hillary last year. Now it's January and both are dead. This is going to be a long year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JN News 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2008 Johnny Weaver (John Meyers) 6 ft 1 in, 235 lbs Born November 17, 1935 Died February 15, 2008 Resides in Charlotte, North Carolina Billed from Indianapolis, Indiana Debuted in 1964 Johnny Weaver (born as John Meyers in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States) was a professional wrestler and wrestling commentator in the National Wrestling Alliance. During Johnny's career, he was credited with being the first wrestler to use the sleeper hold (rear naked choke)as his finisher of choice. Weaver's career spanned four decades in many different territories in the NWA. He held championships across the southeast United States, the first of which was the Mid-Atlantic version of the NWA Southern Tag Team Championship, which he won with Cowboy Bob Ellis on December 2, 1963. His best known run was with partner George Becker in the Mid-Atlantic (Carolinas, Virginia) in the 1960s. The two held the NWA Mid-Atlantic Southern Tag Team Championship five times together, and they were household names in the territory for a period of nearly 8 years. The team had memorable feuds with Swede Hanson and Rip Hawk, Lars and Gene Anderson, Gene and Ole Anderson, Aldo Bogni and Bronko Lubich, the Infernos with manager J. C. Dykes, and many others. Weaver's next major success came in Championship Wrestling from Florida, where he teamed with Becker to win the Florida version of the NWA Southern Tag Team Championship in February 1967. He also competed as a singles wrestler, winning his first NWA Florida Southern Heavyweight Championship that year by defeating the Missouri Mauler. He dropped it back to the Mauler but regained the belt on October 25, 1967. The following summer, he won the belt for a third time. He lost the belt to Hiro Matsuda but then regained it in a rematch in late 1968. Returning to the Carolinas, Weaver was a successful tag team wrestler in Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. He teamed with Becker to win the NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship on May 1, 1969.[4] They held the belts for over nine months before dropping them to Rip Hawk and Swede Hanson on February 17, 1970.[4] Weaver and Becker regained the title exactly one month later, however.[4] They lost the belts to Gene and Ole Anderson but regained them on June 3, 1971 from Hawk and Hanson.[4] Once again, Weaver and Becker dropped the titles to Hawk and Hanson but regained them in a rematch.[4] The following year, Weaver teamed with Art Neilson to win the title twice more.[4] Weaver returned to Florida to compete in 1975 and won the NWA Florida Tag Team Championship by teaming with Dick Slater.[5] He also competed in Texas, where he won the Amarillo version of the NWA International Heavyweight Championship in November 1976.[6] After a brief absence from the Mid-Atlantic territory in 1975, he returned for one more main event run in 1978 with Baron Von Raschke for the area's Television championship.[7] His final championship reigns came in 1981 while wrestling in the Mid-Atlantic area. He teamed with Dewey Robertson to win the NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship in 1981 by defeating Genichiro Tenryu and Mr. Fuji.[8] They lost the belts to Chris Markoff and Nikolai Volkoff later that year, but Weaver regained the title on November 27, 1981 while teaming with Jay Youngblood.[8] Weaver's last years in the ring were in an "elder statesman" role, helping establish new stars just entering the territory, most notably Roddy Piper. He also helped book the Mid-Atlantic territory for nearly 8 years as well, roughly between 1966 and 1973. In the early 1980s, Weaver also booked the house shows in the southern part of the territory. He began his broadcasting career in 1979 as color commentator with World Wide Wrestling host Rich Landrum. He became Landrum's permanent sidekick for the early 1980s, where he became famous for singing "Turn Out The Lights, The Party's Over" at the end of matches (a tip of the hat to Don Meredith, who did the same thing on Monday Night Football.) When Landrum left the company in 1983, Weaver then worked briefly with David Crockett, before becoming paired with the longtime voice of Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Bob Caudle, whom he worked with until leaving the company in 1988. He made a brief in-ring return in the Fall of 1987 in the corner of the "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes who was using sleeper hold, calling it the "Weaver Lock," and chasing down Lex Luger and the N.W.A. United States Title. During this angle, Weaver was placed in a Japanese version of the sleeper by Hiro Matsuda, causing him to bleed from the mouth. Weaver was in Rhodes' corner at Starrcade `87: Chi-Town Heat, when Rhodes defeated Luger in a steel cage after DDTing Luger onto a steel chair. CWF Mid-Atlantic out of Burlington, North Carolina promotes the Johnny Weaver Cup tournament every August with Weaver in attendance to present the winner with the Weaver Cup trophy. Past tournament winners have been "Dangerous E" Corey Edsel (2004), Jesse Ortega (2005), Gemini Kid (2006) and "Handsome" Mitch Connor (2007).[9] [edit] Personal life * Johnny Weaver was a deputy sheriff with Mecklenburg County, North Carolina County in Charlotte, North Carolina. * Johnny Weaver was once married to female wrestler Penny Banner. They had a daughter together named Wendi.
