PEGGY LATHAN PASSES AWAY, MAKING OF THE JUNGLE CRUISE, CRUSHERFEST RETURNING TO MILWAUKEE AND MOE

On behalf of everyone at PWInsider.com, I wanted to express my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Peggy Lathan, who passed away earlier this week suddenly.  Lathan was one of the biggest supporters of professional wrestling from the Carolinas, specifically Mid-Atlantic and Jim Crockett Promotions, who ever lived and was probably the person who was the most in touch with talents from that era out of anyone.  She was a regular at all the Charlotte gatherings and was among the most popular people there every year, to the point that the talents were probably more excited to see her than any fans were to see the talents.  She was a really warm, wonderful person who had an amazing treasure trove of stores from the Mid-Atlantic/Crockett era and she will be deeply missed.  We send our best to her friends and family.

Disney has released an official book on the Making of the Jungle Cruise, starring Dwayne Johnson.

Guy Evans, who wrote one of the all-time best books ever on pro wrestling, Nitro, is working on a follow-up about the WCW sale to WWE.

After taking a break last year due to COVID-19, Milwaukee's Crusherfest, celebrating the AWA legend will return this October with live music, wrestling, a special "Crusher Kielbasa" and more.  For full details of the event, which go to the upkeep and maintenance of the amazing Crusher statue in the city, click here and here.
