Just heard that. He was THE sports star here in Tampa from the mid 60's - mid 70's. His "bionic elbow" as the coup de grace would send the Armory into a tizzy.
Was also one of the greatest talkers of all time. utube]
Was he the one that used to say "ooh wee" all the time?
Doesn't he have a son who's also a rassler? Gold-something?
Two sons - GoldDust and Stardust. I would suspect they be pretty tough to wrassle under those names.
