Cody Rhodes will be launching a new charity campaign in honor of the late British wrestler Kris Travis, who passed away due to cancer on March 31st. NXT star Tommaso Ciampa is also part of the project.
Rhodes tweeted the following on the campaign, featuring the special Dusty Rhodes polka-dot ladder that he used in the Intercontinental Championship match at WrestleMania 32:
The campaign for the “Our Ladder” t-shirts should be launching in the next week, however I did want to inform fans that to honor late Pro-Wrestling star Kris Travis, the charity receiving 100% of the profits will be CAVENDISH CANCER CARE.
Full disclosure, I never had the privilege to meet Kris. I know in pro-wrestling gaining the respect of your peers is invaluable and does not come easy. When asked about him, a trusted peer of mine said he was a “good man.”
With the industry muddled in social media-negativity and selfishness we could certainly use more individuals like Kris. With Tommaso Ciampa’s help, I am really looking forward to launching this campaign.
