The wrestling writer. Not the football player.

For those who don’t know, he’s been writing about wrestling at 411mania for as long as I can remember. He never got much hype. Probably because he just stuck to straight wrestling reviews rather than courting controversy or trying to become A Character. He probably reviewed more wrestling shows than anybody else over the past 2 decades or so. No idea how he managed to watch and write about so much wrestling. Yeah, his star ratings tended to be absurdly high, and the truth is I hadn’t visited his site (it will always be his site to me) all that much over the past decade+, but I did appreciate his positivity, and his seemingly endless show reviews were an invaluable resource for staying in the loop back when I cared more about current wrestling.

RIP Larry Csonka

A big loss to the wrestling community - the amount of content that he recapped was absolutely mindboggling. Dude was still writing up and reviewing WWE Main Event which I think all of about ten people now watch! Whenever I googled a show name to find a review, his was right there at the top, summing things up nicely without too much smarky nonsense, and just the right about of editorialising. He leaves behind a big void in the IWC and unfortunately and more importantly, a family as well. RIP.

Such sad news, been reading Larry's work since I got back into wrestling around 2005. Would always check out his reviews of shows and what was worth catching. Over the past year or so my knowledge of Raw and SD has purely been from his reviews. A tragic loss.
