Jack Brisco dies

Vote 0 Votes
I can't say I saw many matches of WWE Hall of Famer Jack Brisco, who died Monday at 68.
 
But I can say I have heard nothing but great things about him.
 
Brisco had a strong run spanning three decades -- something rare these days.
 
He was also a collegiate wrestler -- which earns my respect right off the bat.
 
He also had much success in Florida later in his career, feuding with Harley Race and the Funks.
 
I do remember his matches from late in his career, and he still stole the show then. I also fondly recall his 2008 Hall of Fame induction.
 
In 1984, he sold some shares of Georgia Championship Wrestling to Vince McMahon, which helped the then-WWF.
 
He also retired and stayed retired, another thing that gains my respect.
 
WWE was nice to mention Brisco on Monday's show.
 
R.I.P., Jack Brisco.

The 1984 sale of some shares would make sense because I remember the brothers having a short run as a team in the then-WWF around the same time.

A true class act from anyone I have ever heard talk about him.

Did you read the story about how he and brother Gerald were credited with Hogan's (Terry Bollea) introduction into wrestling?
