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...

Who's the Man Now?

Think back to the 1980's and professional wrestling. From the NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) to WCW (World Championship Wrestling) to the WWE, Ric Flair was the man. He had all the best lines and looked the part to a "T". He was the "World Champion" more times than even he could count. Flair finally retired from wrestling last year as possibly the greatest interviews and greatest champions ever. One of his best lines was "To be the Man, you've got to beat the Man". Well, apparently, that happened when his daughter and her 22 year old boyfriend and Flair got into a bit of a fight.

It's kind of hard to believe that Flair is 59 years old. It's even harder to believe that he was out drinking with his daughter and boyfriend. It's stunning to think the daughter may have been the one arrested for assault (although you shouldn't go after police officers) It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.
