RIPPA 34,375 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 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 post Share on other sites
Robert s 332 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 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).

Boydy 106 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 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 post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites
