I wake up to find out one of wrestlings most interesting characters has passed. Apparently, while driving, he suffered a heart attack and drove into a tree.

He had a long stint in the WWF back in the 80's and 90's, then was at WCW until it's doors closed in 2001. More recently I read he'd gotten remarried to a much younger woman. In the media, he'd also been known for being the spokemans for "Slim Jim" snacks for many years. He'd also produced a couple of rap albums, a few in which he personally called out former friend "Hulk" Hogan.

He will be missed.

I just heard about this not long ago.

He pretty much lost his mind and became a punchline in recent years, but he was a childhood hero for a wrestling fan.
