Ian Muir, a 310 pound wrestler from Scotland who was a frequent opponent of Big Daddy, passed away this past week at the age of 81. He wrestled from around 1974 to 1988, as either Ian Muir, Bruiser Muir or Big Bully Muir, as well as under a mask as The Assassin. He worked on the losing end of numerous singles and tag matches with Daddy, getting slots because Daddy would frequently work with 300 pound opponents. He was said to be very popular among his peers, and did some acting roles as well, being in the movie “Time Bandits” as well as having small parts on television shows and being in many television commercials. One star from that era called him “A lovely and funny man. Great monster.” He was actually best known for being in the comedy television show “The Young Ones” which was big in the 80s, which was considered groundbreaking in its day. He wrestled most of his career in the U.K. but did travel out of the country when he was younger. He was very well liked and respected within the wrestling community

I know everyone hates Riven's Wishes (outside of the loot) but I appreciate them allowing me to check off random triumphs that I never did.
