So, I got home from work and got on the computer to check my fantasy football team and my email and I found... this... in Wrestling-Online Newsletter:
> OX BAKER PASSES AWAY
- Douglas Baker, known to many in the wrestling industry as Ox Baker,
passed away at the age of 80 earlier today after complications from a
heart attack. Baker made his wrestling debut in 1962 and went on to
wrestle for the World Wide Wrestling Federation, Stampede Wrestling,
American Wrestling Association, and many others, and wrestling the likes
of Hulk Hogan, Gorilla Monsoon, Carlos Colon, The Sheik, Randy Savage, and
other big names during his career. Apart from a wrestling career, Baker
also did work on some movies and his most famous role came in the film
Escape From New York, fighting against Kurt Russell.
Needless to say, I'm fairly bummed by this news.
