The article notes that Kiniski made sure the article writer wrote the following when reporting his inevitable death: "When you spent a buck to see Kiniski, you got a ten dollar value.

That's a shame to hear. He's definitely one of the original legends in the business.

This is terrible news. I was just watching the first disc of History of the World Heavyweight Championship and he was talking about his loss to Dory Funk Jr. Didnt know he had cancer, hopefully this isnt one of those "Bad things come in 3s" things |

I was just watching the first disc of History of the World Heavyweight Championship and he was talking about his loss to Dory Funk Jr. Didnt know he had cancer, hopefully this isnt one of those "Bad things come in 3s" things Kiniski would be the third in just three short weeks. Scicluna and Kanyon were the other ones. |

I cannot believe that there are wrestling fans that don't know who Kiniski is. There's more to wrestling than John Cena!
