Johnny Walker

He came to watch my Delta team play softball in Hawaii. Great guy and great friend!!

I watched you every Saturday when you were wrestling in Memphis long ago. You were my absolute favorite wrestler. I remember when you were the Mystery Man and unmasked yourself as Johnny Walker on TV. I still remember you.

I first met Johnny Walker back in 1978.I met him at a Saturday night event in Atlanta,Ga.All I can remember is it was next to Georgia State College.He was a gentleman in every way.I talked to him briefly because he was at the auditorium getting ready for his wrestling match.we lost a good man,and a very intelligent soul.I will never forget meeting him that evening as long as I live.Hecwas a great wrestler and a good friend to all.And yes I did get his autograph that evening.

I was just a boy when Mr. Wrestling II was at the top of his game with his tremendous knee lift. I was blessed to see my ideal in person, in Savannah, Ga many years ago. I'm 56 now and learning of his passing crushed my heart. I'm deeply saddened, but stand proud to have a true professional to look up to; Memories that I will hold close for the rest of my life. To the Walker family, thank you for sharing. R.I.P. my favorite wrestler for life. Much Love "Mr.Wrestling II."

I'm just now finding out about this......

I am in great shock..as Mr. Wrestling #2 was one of my greatest inspirations for why I started watching wrestling at a very young age. My great grandmother turned me onto it when I was 7, back when they had territories (yes, I am that old..LOL - 50 years old to be exact).

The first wrestling match that I watched was Mr. Wrestling #2 versus The Superstar. A battle of masks, if you will. Gordon Solie was commentating. And...

Mr Wrestling #2 was my favorite all time wrestler. As a kid in East Tennessee I watched a lot of his matches. I met him in 2009 in Winter Garden Florida. The girl I was dating at the time new Jonny and told him what a huge fan I was. He met surprised me at a bar in Winter Garden. We talked wrestling for about 2 hours. He brought his NWA Georgia Championship belt for me to see. What a great man. Rest In Peace. I will never forget you and your generosity of spending time with me

My husband and I went to see him for years in Atlanta and Rome Georgia he was a very kind man.

Please accept my sincere condolences to the Walker Family. May the God of all comfort who is the hearer of prayers be with you in your time of need with his loving kindness and peace as He strengthens you to cope during this difficult time. May family, friends and extended family cherish his memories.
