R.I.P. Nick Bockwinkel
Nick Bockwinkel has passed away at the age of 81
He was also one of the greatest World Heavyweight champions winning the AWA World Heavyweight Title 4 times. He was so trusted and loved by AWA owner/promoter Verne Gagne when Stan Hansen refused to come back from Japan in 1986 to defend the title, he stripped him and handed it to Bockwinkel as a transition champion but left the title on him for 308 days. Bockwinkel dropped the belt Curt Hennig on May 2nd 1987 at SuperClash 2 in San Francisco CA.
