Here's your fight-size update for the morning of June 1, 2020:
- Drew Gulak wrote a lengthy thread on Twitter remembering Danny Havoc, who died this weekend.
Danny moved across the country in 2004 to follow his dreams. He wanted to be a deathmatch wrestler like Jun Kasai and Hayabusa! That's when I met him. We'd been close friends ever since.

Beyond that, as a human, he wast fun-loving, intelligent, creative, innovative, brave, and caring. Just an honest to goodness great guy. He had such a fun, dry, wicked, dark sense of humor and an amazing skill for art.

He put 100% of himself into everything he created. That's why on whatever platform he was on he shined. I could honestly go on and on, but I won't here. I want to spread some joy here because whenever I talk about my friend Danny Havoc, Grant, that's what it was.

For those wondering, the gift hasn't made it into the mail yet, it's still being assembled. I'm having it sent back to my place. I know he would have loved it.
