WWE News: Corporal Kirchner alive and well?
Submitted by Matthew Tremley on Saturday, October 21, 2006 at 2:05 PM EST







• The wrestling website PWInsider.com was sent an e-mail earlier this morning from the mother of former WWE superstar Corporal Kirchner saying that WWE.com had made an error in reporting that her son had passed away. In face, she has no idea who Thomas Spears is, and apparently they have contacted WWE about this error and since then, the official website has removed the story from their main page. Here is what the e-mail said:
  
  "My name is Jean Kirchner and I'm Cpl. Kirchner's mother.
  
  While I thank you for your condolences, they aren't necessary because Mike (a.k.a. Cpl. Kirchner) is alive and well.
  
  Who Thomas Spears is, I haven't a clue, and my condolences to his family. He was never the "Corp" and I assume this is some kind of mix-up in the WWE database since the information came from them.
  
  I called them as soon as my brother-in-law told me about the article and they removed it.
  
  All I can tell you is that I wrote the book and my son is, thankfully, alive and well.
  
  Jean Kirchner
  a.k.a. G.M. O'Callaghan"
  
  The wrestling website Slam! actually has an interview with Kirchner up where he says that he is very much alive and well. This has to be seen as a huge error and mistake on the WWE's part. Here is a small sample from the interview:
  
  When he heard about his "death", he was actually in Connecticut, the home state of WWE. He was tempted to drive to WWE headquarters in Stamford, and say, "Guess what guys? I'm still around."
