RIPPA Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I was hoping to see how long we would be able to get into 2021 without starting a new one (sadly it probably should have been started sooner) It has come out that Dick Cardinal passed away on Christmas Eve Many believe he was the oldest living professional wrestler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 3 hours ago, RIPPA said: Many believe he was the oldest living professional wrestler Wikipedia lists a Brit called Joe D'Orazio (real name Giuseppe <4 middle names> scala) as oldest living wrestler, a guy being born in 1922 (Cardinal was born in 1927).

DreamBroken Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Longtime Texas wrestler, "The Angel of Mercy" Claudia passed away suddenly on Saturday at the age of 38, due to a brain aneurysm. Notably she was the first opponent of Ember Moon and Jordynne Grace when they first started. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boydy Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 As Meltzer said on the recent Observer Radio that Vince's Dad died I think at 79 and now Vince's older brother who is 2 years older then Vince has died. I bet Vince is thinking a lot about the future and is probably a bit scared of the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the WON website write up Quote The eldest McMahon was not part of the wrestling business unlike the 75-year-old Vince Jr., their father, Vince Sr., or their grandfather, Jess. Vince Sr. died of pancreatic cancer in 1984 at 69 years old while Jess suffered a cerebral hemmorrage in 1954 at 72 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Eh, he might have some time left on his hands. He also may benefit from the Kissinger Effect, where the worse a powerful person is the longer they live. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
