News broke he passed. 76 yrs old. Always will remember the feud with Andre and the stretcher match they had at the Spectrum. RIP Khan  |

Can't say I've seen a lot besides a few matches and seeing him in 3 Ninjas.

Really sad to hear. I believe he operated either a hibachi grill or a karaoke bar in Japan.

I remember seeing in an old WWF Magazine from 1987 that the two men likely to be the biggest threat to Hulk Hogan were One Man Gang and Killer Khan.
I only remember seeing a handful of his stuff on WWF Coliseum Video I wanna say it was. I got to see him wrestle for Mid South in the early 80s thanks to the WWE Network and he was a big deal there, a huge threat to the champion.
He had one of the greatest angles too with "breaking" Andre's leg.
R.I.P. Killer Khan

Ah that is sad news. Only really saw the tail end of his career in WWF. Remember reading about the Andre angle too. I never saw footage of that angle but everything I’ve read made it sound like an awesome piece of booking.
Hope he’s at peace now.

His run in WCCW was awesome. He had a bloodbath of a feud with Terry Gordy.
I can no longer find it on YouTube, but WCCW had an interview with him, his American wife & children. It was strange seeing them break kayfabe back then.
Here's an old clip: Khan attacking an already injured Andre. Andre had really broken his shin while getting out of bed. But saying that Khan broke it made it better for TV.
