I think I'm accurate in saying this, a three time cancer survivor and will get to find out if that's true in just a moment here, Chuck Coates, Chuck welcome to it's time to mathematics. Joe started about you weekend catch up a little bit and got you got a great figure to me in and out telling my story is an opportunity to do that today. Well, it is not in any my introduction chocolate was I correctly say after three time cancer survivor that is correct, you know, recon 2006 12 eight 2016 I tell you what I get to have a number okay and give my break is your hero so this being all picked out big time will know what what were to jump that before we get to that little more details on that for those out there in the listening audience in and by the way people listen around the world and we fed 59+ countries not only listen to the to the radio show and/or podcast and so your stories to go worldwide here and in today. But before we get there get humorless is little backdrop a little backs Lori on Chuck Coates then will will talk about your your victory in overcoming cancer will note early on in my younger days. Mme. and I got a little and we got to watch your great grades come on, got got me a plot and I would go out with you know what you think that University Riley and Rita Graham from NWA to Crockett promotional bear.

We bought tickets in advance we got ringside never ever ever set a web link starting and out there. My college days. Had I got the point… I wanted. Not always been told to go for a walk recommended Margaret College of health Royal school and Mooresville and gotten training and also short. Next thing I know the New York and must recognize several television all whole lot sooner. I look let's load all the while, that's all right. Let's go back first to the door to Rita because you you may. You may not know a lot of Russian fans do know some don't but that's where I debuted right Norton arena in Raleigh.

Yeah it is a crazy story for me.

I mean, because I had I didn't dream of a beautiful pro wrestler and I didn't quit college jock actually graduated college but then do a five-minute phone call to Jim Crockett, Junior the promoter in Charlotte, North Carolina to that conversation. I showed up at the office today said to be there and fixing it on stand before can run you where it would change around the back and looking mean and menacing and then to be Raleigh tomorrow night Russell, so, so let me ask you questions so did in those early days of getting good grades and rewarded by going to professional wrestling. Did you ever see the Russian nightmare in action in the ring in Dorton.

Absolutely, if Mikita magnum and the J. Matt required Kelly Blanchard… That in my scrapbook. No way to start the good job of Mikita go from directly to the black thing and I thought all men, all work. One of the reasons I gumming up a good way that I wanted. Failing and that it was a wrestling with big football to me or anything else not bring the doing and like we had the opportunity okay so so she grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina, Durham, Raleigh yeah okay Raleigh Germany collected triangle, yet she grew up in the Triangle area and and you are in college studying in college but but an avid wrestling fan on, you got a vision for you got a vision got a picture you waste as you said it a dream of becoming a progress as you drop out of college and it had for those who are in college. She you know you going the way of that right.

You can say hey if you have a dream. It be for you. It turned out rather well for for some, but maybe not so. But you drop out, and you met you through a name out there Nelson Royal yell there's a lot of Lotta people may not may or may not know who Nelson Royal was but Becky still has to think tilt to this day, that is no longer with us in going on to heaven to be with the Lord. But he's got out on a Western store there and Mooresville, North Carolina believe is still there. Do you know, I do believe his daughter you think you Know is been there like you like 50 or 60 years were enemies which is interesting a Western store in North Carolina.

I would, Texas. I could picture that you know anyway so so and I knew we had a camp in and he was the world NWA world Junior heavyweight champion correct correct yes yes so he had a history behind them in the history of success in wrestling pretty big name, and in the mid Atlantic wrestling air arena area and so you went to his camp and on any of the guys that that listeners might read names that they might recognize that you are in camp with at that time I was a little bit younger and worked out, the angel and I was more about, WC W and I were finishing, or just didn't spill Crockett when I was starting and so your tingling with their help and training course was very writing. Ricky Nelson was there for godly well.God for that.

But you got over everything I bought big lot because of the job they did make your goat different world back me and you know me not about you go to the Coliseum of the great workout you go to hospitals are brief in all the places like that you get the crowded house shows and that's what was to me. God made me know will do whatever is so that's not the yeah yeah well and in you name some names there again. For some, maybe not. Not so recognizable but they are to me jock because life because I became you I got the privilege of step in the ring with the you mentioned some your dusty roads to rock 'n' roll express Ricky steamboat Johnny Weaver blackjack Mulligan Barry Windham Kelly Blanchard, who we've had on the show before and of course staying looks Luger in the list goes on and on.

But what I want people to understand today even in hearing some of your early part of your story is that I Mikita call off was successful because of many of those names you mentioned.not not so much the names I mention all I'm grateful that step in the ring with Rick flair and I say can make a broomstick look good, because he made the key to cool off. Yeah why plot for the record, was because of guys like you mentioned Jean league Ricky Nelson Tommy Angel Chuck Coates and others as you guys one in the ring on television with us and made guys like me look really really good that that in turn put me in main event matches against guys like I mentioned the big name guys as well and so you know, you guys really you guys really are are are the gold standard of that day of professional wrestling is once you hear that from you to know that you know your lot about your know where you are most might like it might write well I just might start every good football player right you know if you're needing to buy a car and have marginal credit for considering using buy here pay here that's worse than taking the Russian sickle Winston-Salem motorcars will put you behind the wheel of a car you can rely on while helping rebuild, repair or establish your credit score conveniently located on Silas Creek Pkwy. in Winston-Salem.

And when making cancer because I, wondered, I guess I want to make sure. But then I found out think that was diagnosed that you probably don't, never heard it was with your situation with with hot foam so that my diagnosis and thought about what you cannot get right yet. I believe in what you went for so we went up to that we get chemotherapy, radiation in in 2006, albeit from September to February 2007 and then gradually decided to keep me around so thousand seven February, I was declared cancer free. The first go around okay and what 2012, 2012 update bad.
