A legend and one of the greatest villains of the ring, in my eyes, passed away today. It wasn't until recently that I found out he had cancer and, thankfully, now his struggle is over and he can be at peace. I hope his memory can live on as one of the greats of wrestling and I hope his family can find comfort in his passing. Rest in peace, big guy.
