LES THATCHER UPDATE

By Mike Johnson on 2021-01-13 10:29:00

Our own Les Thatcher sent along the following update on his health as he battles COVID-19 pneumonia:

Just a quick update for 1/12/21. Feeling better, but still weak and a long way to go. Thanks to all of you for the love & prayers. Starting and "old school" comeback, for the young & uneducated that's pro wrestling talk! Stay safe out there and wear the mask! Love you all!

 

If you'd like to leave Les well wishes, you can find his official Facebook page at www.facebook.com/les.thatcher.9.

Les has held just about every position imaginable in professional wrestling, first breaking in the buisness in 1960 and since retiring, has worked as a trainer, booker, television broadcaster, producer and just about every other position you can imagine.  He is very much a national treasure in this industry, having worked with and for just about every major promotion, including publishing the very first WWF Magazine.  There is not one Hall of Fame that Thatcher wouldn't be qualified for a dozen times over and if I am going to be frank, it's garbage he's not already in every single one.

We wish Les all the best, pray for his health and look forward to his return here on PWInsider.com.  We love him and are hoping for the best.
