HIGHLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ITEM STARTS A FEW INCHES) …
Jon Huber’s widow, Amanda Huber, posted an Instagram message about her late husband (a / k / a Brodie Lee) on Tuesday night, providing more details about her medical situation and criticizing an editorial column from a now ex – columnist for PWTorch.com.
She also spoke about the journey they had taken as a couple and how things looked good before her death.
“Imagine being 17 and spending a night talking to a mutual friend,” she wrote. “So realizing that they were ‘the one’.”
She said they spent seven years in an intermittent relationship, gave one last chance, went to therapy and dated some more.
She talked about the discovery that they were having a baby boy “the day he was reduced” (from WWE). She talked about him getting his dream job (in AEW) just to suffer an injury.
“You continue to build your dream life with another perfect little boy, 2 crazy dogs and 5 cats. They have the opportunity to really bet on themselves and you see them shine like never before. Life is SO good. “
She then said that he became ill one day, then became increasingly ill. “You know how much they value your privacy, so you ask those who are helping you to remain silent out of respect for them,” she said. “You watch helplessly as they get worse and worse. Covid test, after the greed test, after the greed test, it was negative. You almost pray for a positive answer because it would be some kind of answer. You never get one.
“Suddenly, they’re gone.”
She then commented on an opinion article published on PWTorch on Sunday by Bruce Mitchell. The column has already been removed, and PWTorch split from the author on Tuesday.
“You need to try to figure out how to imagine your future now,” she wrote. “Then you read a ‘journalist’ demanding ‘transparency’ and imply that you are hiding something. This is some kind of cover-up. Something more sinister. That you are not serving his memory better by not offering information that you are still trying to process. As if his death was a danger to public health. It was not. It was a tragedy.
“There is no cover-up. There is no conspiracy. There were only a series of unfortunate events that ended with your world being destroyed. What kind of position does that put you in? When you are trying to mourn and people practically expect you to publish medical records, because, as a public figure, she is entitled to all knowledge of what happened.
“It was not obscene. There is no shame in dying from Covid, but it is not what it was. You have no answers and you just left it there. Can you fucking imagine that? “

Sami Zayn, among so many fighters who knew Lee, posted photos and shared a memory.
May 2013, Tampa. Great beach day.
To detonate the boys, I was telling women that I was a single father and Brodie Jr. was my son.
Brodie emerged from the sea, tall, tall, with long hair and a crazy beard, so all day I referred to him as ‘The Mighty Poseidon’ and he held Brodie Jr. to heaven. pic.twitter.com/9bDwKujREy– Sami Zayn (@SamiZayn) December 30, 2020
