Rick Bognar wrote in and helped fill in his profile and had this to say: I am the General Manager of Southport World Health Club which is a big company now that has 13 clubs in Alberta. I really enjoy it. Fitness has always been and always will be a big part of my life. I was trained mostly by Mr. Hito a popular Japanese wrestler and Tokyo Joe Daigo. Both were with New Japan Pro wrestling for some time and were also part of Stampede Wrestling when it was still a big name. I practiced with Chris Jericho and Lance Storm as well as honed my skills on the road with my pals Mike Awesome and Sabu.
Rick Bognar wrote again (March 2010): I just wanted to update you on what I’ve been up to recently. I am at Sutton Can-West Real Estate now (been doing it for 3 years now after World Health Club) and I am teaching wrestling classes at Teofista Boxing Club. I teach Japanese style so that my students look like they are shooting. I have one student named Todd Davidson whom I am particularly proud of. One of my students who I trained with the help of Bad News Allen (God bless his soul) Raj Dhesi has gone to the W.W.E. developmental spots. Another student named Chris Flook went to O.V.W and finally Charlotte Webb has wrestled successfully in England, Mexico and the States. I am currently writing a book called “Wrestling with Consciousness” compiling memoirs and the path to a higher self. I also support Vance Nevada’s book on Western Canadian Wrestling.
Rick Bognar wrote again (June 2010): I’ve completed my book ‘Wrestling with Consciousness’ a story of a man’s inner struggle during and after his wrestling career and the transition from anger and aggression to more centered states in meditation. I have currently started the Speaking Circuit in Calgary and have recently spoken at the Internatlional Publisher’s Association of Calgary and at the Calgary Drop In Center on Overcoming Adversity.
