Legendary manager Skandar Akbar has passed away at the age of 75. He was best known for his time in World Class and Mid South/UWF.
I grew up watching him as a kid, one of the best managers in the game. I hope LOW is able to get him in game one day. A lot of his faction Devastation Inc is already in game.

RIP Mr. Akbar. You were one of my favorite managers in the 80s.

RIP to a great manager and by all accounts a great guy as well. One of my all-time favorite managers right alongside Freddie Blassie, The Grand Wizard, and Jim Cornette. His Devastation, Inc. stable was a great part of both Mid-South and World Class back in the 1980's. It should also be noted that he had a fine career as a wrestler as well.
I second the hope to one day have him in LOW. This has been a rough month with the passing of Lance Cade and "Nightmare" Ted Allen as well. Best wishes to the families of all three men.
