Ringside Remembers Adam Firestorm [1976-2009]

Adam "Firestorm" Dykes : 1976 - 2009

On what would have been his 33rd birthday, Ringside returns for a final edition as we remember the life and times of the late Adam Firestorm.

We're joined on the show by a multitude of Adam's friends and former colleagues in the world of professional wrestling, as we share the memories of a truly great friend. Joining us are Bryan Alvarez of Figure 4 Weekly, Craig Proper, Buddy Wayne, Verne Siebert, Happy Kreter (best known as Strife, one of Adam's former tag team partners), and Adam's trainer, "Gorgeous" Michelle Starr.

We'll play - in full - the two songs that became a big part of this show: Megaphone's "Not Your Enemy" and the Sumo Sister's "I Wanna Wrestle You"... and fittingly for Ringside, we have our fair share of technical problems, as we produce our longest ever show, weighing in at over two hours!

Thank you to everyone who has called, e-mailed, or simply just listened to Ringside over the years. Adam enjoyed being a part of this show each and every week, and it was truly an honour to have spent the past two-plus years working alongside a man who had such a great insight to the world of professional wrestling. Adam was a true friend, and I for one will miss him dearly.

“Dear Friends of Adam “Firestorm”,

A fund in Adam’s memory has been opened to help cover costs associated with his memorial and interment. Donors can visit any Coast Capital Savings branch in B.C. and make a deposit to the account of “Dykes Family In Trust.”

Cheques and money orders can be made out to “Dykes Family In Trust” and mailed to this address:

Dykes Family in Trust, c/o Happy Kreter, 4660-203 St., Langley, B.C. Canada, V3A 5J7

Thank you.

A second trust fund has been set up by Adam’s widow, but we have been assured by her that all monies donated this way will be used to cover the costs of Adam’s burial, internment and for an appropriate grave marker. Any excess monies will be invested and saved for the education of his son, Thomas.

Rest in Peace Adam.
