We have just received the sad news that a good friend of wrestling, Derek Collins, has died. Note, this is NOT the wrestler Derek Collins.
Derek may well be remembered by Reunion attendees as he filmed the Reunions in Kent, Blackpool and Ayr. R.I.P. Derek.
I met Derek a few years ago when he was filming at the Blackpool reunion, in particular an interview between Hack and Sam Betts, a brilliant CD was the result, which I still have a look at again and again. Thanks Derek and R.I.P.
This made some confusion at the leeds wrestling reunion on april 3rd. They said that they invited Derek Collins to the reunion but he past away. And one hour later Derek walked in allive. So they didnt know that at this time that the Derek who passed away was not the wrestler. You can imagine the surprise.
