Former WWE and WCW wrestler George Gray is one of the thousands of people who were affected by the recent heavy rainfall and flooding in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The unfortunate event caused the wrestler to lose everything he stored in the house including wrestling memorabilia, electronic appliances, clothes and all other things of basic needs. Due to the fact that the former WWE talent did not have a flood insurance, he is now seeking help from wrestling fans and has created a GofundMe account for the same purpose.
Below is the prologue written by the former WCW employee on his Gofundme account which he has set up to encourage fans to help him and his family get back on their feets:
Hi, i'm The One Man Gang aka Akeem aka George Gray. Recently, as many of you know, The Great Flood of '16 came and smashed into Southern Louisiana where our family home for 25 years in Central, LA received 4' of water inside it. Unfortunately I wasn't there to do a 747 Splash and send that water back up the street crying for its momma. Thankfully though our son was house sitting while I was in Georgia doing a meet n greet signing & was able to save all 8 cats, 2 dogs & a lizard. However almost everything my wife & I ever owned was ruined. All the beds, couches, appliances, electronics, clothes, basically everything in the entire house was destroyed while submerged for 3 days. A lifetime of wrestling memorabilia, wrestling videos & family albums were among the most irreplaceable. Like most in our area FEMA had declared our neighborhood a no flood zone and like most we didn't have flood insurance. Our home insurance said they cover zero zip nada of the damages. Any help you can give to get us back on our feet & our home livable again would be most appreciated. Thanks for your support.
Gray started his wrestling career back in 1977 at the age of 17. He wrestled in the independent circuit for more than 10 years before he was hired by WWE. During his 3 years long stint with the company. Gray was known with names like One Man Gang and Akeem; the African Dream.
He left WWE in October 1990 and joined WCW next year in March. Although his run did not go as planned and he was fired from the company in October 1991. George Gray made a brief return to WCW in 1995 and has been working as a free agent ever since.
