Dead at 74

Sad to hear of his passing. He defeated Bruno Sammartino to win the then-WWWF World Title, after Bruno held the title for nearly eight years. I remember him best during his 80's run in the NWA with Nikita Koloff.  

Just moving it up in case someone hasn't heard.

Unfortunately we're at that age where some of our heroes are at the end...sad. Same is happening to my musical heroes/influences.

Indeed. As sad as it is, I try to tell myself that we were lucky to have had them for as long as we did.
