It's time for another inbox cleaning and we start with two space-oriented notes from the web.
Accuweather discusses a recent study that believes that Jupiter may have gathered its size from eating other planets during the beginning of its formation.
Jupiter's core was examined by the JUNO spacecraft and discovered to have solid material that is thought to have gathered from "eating" other planets at the time of formation.
As the planet grew, it became large enough to siphon gases such as hydrogen and helium to form its atmosphere, and scientists believe with this discovery that they may to reexamine that the remaining three gas giants (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) may have developed in a similar manner.
CNN reports of a double-crater rocket impact on the moon but it's unknown what the rocket was that made the impact.
NASA believes it's a piece of space junk that likely had been flying around for years, so it's uncertain the exact rocket will be identified but it is known that this seems to be the first time that a moon crater has been created from an unintentional landing into the moon.
There have been several intentional crashes from spacecraft into the moon from Apollo missions and others but this is the first time that this has happened unintentionally that NASA is aware of.
Treacher's started in Columbus, Ohio in 1969 and at its peak had 826 locations but now there remains only one in operation- in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
The Cuyahoga Falls location is celebrating its fifty-year anniversary and became the final Treacher's after the same owner closed the Garfield Heights, Ohio location last June due to staff shortages.
Seafood eateries are having trouble in recent years with another TRS favorite Long John Silvers closing many locations around the country, including the Hagerstown location inside the Valley Mall, which while I cannot write this with certainty, I believe had been open since the Mall started business in 1974.
Mental Floss scores with this article on legendary Democratic prankster "Dick Tuck", who made his goal in life to mess with Richard Nixon!
The article writes of several pranks including in the 1968 election with Tuck hiring pregnant women to attend Nixon rallies and wear t-shorts inscribed "Nixon's the One", which was Nixon's campaign slogan in his successful campaign!
And we wrap with SI.com writing a story that starts sad but ends with a happy ending as the article follows the lost children of the late wrestler Rocky Johnson, all of them across Canada when Johnson (a Canadian native) was wrestling there well before his American fame.
The happy ending arrives with the various half-siblings getting to know each other and their uncle (and former Rocky tag team partner, Ricky) as they begin to form a family that never existed before.
This of course makes each of them half-siblings to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
The inbox has enough passings from the wrestling world to have its own post with four grapplers from the past recently passing away.
Goodbye to Rocky Johnson at the age of 75.
Johnson, who was arguably the best African-American wrestler of the 1970s, is best known today as the father of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, but his career was far more than journeyman status.
Johnson challenged the various NWA champions of his time and teamed with Tony Atlas as the first black WWF tag team champions in 1983 with a win over the Wild Samoans.
Johnson held many titles in several territories, including the Florida and Georgia territories when those two ranked at the top of the most prestigious titles in the nation, but his final run came with the WWF when Johnson was used as a stalking horse for Jimmy Snuka with major feuds against Magnificent Muraco and Roddy Piper that built both heels for an even larger feud for each vs Snuka.
Johnson's best work was before my time and access, but his WWF work was pretty good with his matches with Muraco, who ranked at the elite level at the time, was excellent.
The Piper series that was started in Piper's Pit with the photo above, had plenty of "heat" from the fans, but the actual matches weren't quite as strong as the Muraco series for two reasons- mainly for all of the skills of Roddy Piper, he was never at the level of in-ring wrestler of Don Muraco and the other reason was that the audience badly wanted Muraco to lose the Inter-Continental title and a Johnson title win would have made him the first black champion in the territory as the Muraco series took place before the Johnson and Atlas team won the tag team titles.
Goodbye to Charlie Cook- Age not listed.
I cannot seem to find an age for Cook, who was the proverbial "One Year Wonder" as Cook was pushed to the moon in the Florida territory in 1981.
A journeyman grappler that usually was based in the southeastern part of the country that was described as a former NFL player, although I've never been able to find any proof of such unless Cook played under a different name.
Cook was a below-average performer in the ring, but suddenly in 1981, Cook began to become a top star in winning the Florida title twice, initially over former NWA champion Dory Funk Jr., which was instant credibility in the storyline.
1981 was as good as it would get for Cook, who began to move down the cards the following year and other than a brief title victory in the WWC (Puerto Rico), Cook was essentially finished in wrestling by 1984.
Goodbye to Pampero Firpo at the age of 89.
Firpo was a grappler far before my wrestling fandom as his career started in 1953 and ended in 1981.
Firpo's "gimmick" was portraying himself as a wild and untamed character similar to the Sheik and Abdullah the Butcher.
Firpo was named by former heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey, who would occasionally participate in wrestling as an enforcer referee, after Luis Firpo "The Wild Bull of the Pampas", who famously knocked Dempsey out of the ring in Firpo's unsuccessful title challenge
Firpo's main territory was the Detroit territory where he had several battles through the years against their two top stars in the Sheik and Bobo Brazil but did have a brief run in the then-WWWF against champion Pedro Morales in 1972.
Firpo had recently returned to the news as part of the beginning theme to the popular podcast "Jim Cornette's Drive-Thru" with the line "Who still remembers Pampero Firpo"?
Goodbye to Hercules Ayala at the age of 69.
Ayala, a barrel-chested grappler, spent almost his entire career in the Stampede territory based in Calgary, Canada and the WWC in Puerto Rico.
Ayala was a star in both places, but his biggest run might have been late in his career after being turned heel against Carlos Colon in one of the final big-money runs for Puerto Rico from 1985 to 1987 that matched the two in many various matches with different rules and stipulations before Ayala lost a Loser Leaves Town match to Colon.
The Ayala-Colon matches were noted for their excessive blood and violence in a territory already known for their violence and even involved Ayala attacking and beating Colon's wife.
