8 Professional Wrestling deaths in 2016

#6 Frenchy Martin

One of the greatest wrestling managers in the 80s

Frenchy Martin began his career as a wrestler but would never receive the same level of success that he did as a manager for Dino Bravo. Through 1988, Martin would accompany Bravo to ringside as Dino Bravo and his opponents raged on in the ring.

Martin also managed Jos LeDuc, though LeDuc did not have a long career. Years later, Bravo would pick Jimmy Hart as his manager over Martin, and Frenchy Martin would be relegated to the role of a jobber.

In September of last year, it was reported that Martin was afflicted with bladder cancer, and he succumbed to his ailment in October 2016. Long live the legendary Frenchy Martin.
