He Has To Pass: WWE Legend Announces He Will Not Be At Raw XXX Despite Being Rumored

He’ll catch you next time. Next week, WWE is presenting its Raw XXX special, honoring thirty years of Monday Night Raw being on the air. This is quite the occasion and WWE is going to bring in a variety of stars and legends who have played a part in the show’s legacy. However, one name who was scheduled for the show is not going to make it, though he does have a good reason.

WWE legend Tatanka has announced that he will not be appearing at Raw XXX despite being scheduled for the show. Tatanka said that while WWE contacted him five weeks ago, his son’s wrestling team qualified for the state tournament and he will be attending the competition instead of coming to the show. Tatanka wrestled for WWE in two stints, from 1991-1996 and 2005-2007, while making various one off appearances since.

Even though @WWE contacted me 5 weeks ago, I will not be attending the 30th Anniversary Show…instead, as noted, my Son's Wrestling Team won the Regional Championship & we're heading out of town to the State Championship! No better place I would rather be! #Father #Son Support! pic.twitter.com/9tvWX54L4Z

Tatanka was around for a good while. Check out some of his time in WWE:

Opinion: While he was never a huge star, Tatanka is someone who got the fans’ attention and made an impression on them. That is more than a lot of wrestlers over the years can say and it is kind of shame that he won’t be around for the anniversary show. However, what he is getting to do is that much more important is the right thing and hopefully his son’s team does well at the competition.
