The Portland legend was just 67 years old. |

Fun fact for you humanoids: He also played the ''Super Ninja'' who got squashed by Warrior on an episode of SNME in late 88

Never knew that. Very interesting. He was a lot younger than I thought. He had quite a career in the old Don Owen Portland area. I always got him confused with "Hustler" Rip Rogers. |

I heard last night about his passing.
R.I.P. Rip!
I remember the SNME match, but my main memories of him is reading his name in the old PWI magazines about PNW. Portland Wrestling was definitely his home for doing his business, and it's a shame I never got a chance to see PNW TV. From what I read about it, a lot of great feuds and matches took place there.

A great veteran gone too soon. May he best at peace and may his influence live on in good wrestlers of this and future generations.
