Jack Brisco Passes At 68

Former Oklahoma State NCAA wrestling champion Jack Brisco has died at age 68.

The university said Tuesday that Brisco died on Monday after suffering from heart disease.

Brisco was the 1964 and 1965 Big Eight champion at 191 pounds. He was runner-up for the national title in 1964 and won the NCAA championship the following year. He
finished 27-1-1 as a Cowboy.

He wrestled professionally after college and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008. A lot of us at the HQ remember Jack and his brother, Jerry, as one of the better tag team combinations when we were in our impressionable years.

His style and shtick will be missed...
Here's what you've missed if you don't know the Briscos...
