I’ve been largely out of touch with the news due to some personal issues I’ve been dealing with. So I was totally oblivious finding out about the tornado in St. Louis. This Substack is one of the few outlets to the outside world I’ve been keeping up with. Our hearts and prayers should go out to those impacted.
Regarding Malcolm, good point about how he’s claimed by many (often divergent) groups. But I believe what remains universal — beyond religious or political views — was his commitment to uplift those most vulnerable and marginalized. All of us who “claim” Malcom should incorporate that same ethos in our families, faith, and the communities we live in.
On a personal note, my interest in prison outreach was inspired by Malcolm as well. Initially my mission was laser focused on spreading Islam in prison. Over time, I found that the biggest benefit is to inspire hope and moral reform — regardless of what spiritual tradition the individual chooses.l Perhaps that was my “Malcolm moment”.
They recorded but SICW hasn't aired the matches on their YouTube channel. Robert Gibson delivered a blow to one of the guys before the taping began, but none of them appeared in any matches.

Did any of the wrestling legends make appearances on the live show?
