We lost Kevin Castle. He passed away Monday afternoon (4/7/25). With very heavy and broken hearts, myself (Don Tony), Kev's brother Jon Draper, and Mish (Wrestling Soup) try to make sense of what happened. In addition to health issues, we also discuss another major ailment that Kev Castle was battling. Kev always looked out for others and many times put others before himself.

We are too emotionally drained to start changing links...
