    You were and always will be my favorite wrestler. In 1985 when I was 12 years old I won the “Have Lunch With Your favorite Wrestler” contest. That is a day I will never forget and I tell my children about it all the time. RIP

    I had no idea he was dead. To die right after his daughter’s gaduation was very tragic. This was one of my favorite wresters when I was a kid. RIP
