Former WWE Star The Great Wojo Dies at 73 Year Old

Former WWE star and legend, The Great Wojo, has died at the age of 73 years. This came after cardiac issues.

As reported by The Toledo Blade, the legend died at 73 years old. Chris Carter, who often traveled with The Great Wojo during his touring days, also commented on his death, paying tribute to him.

"Not only a tremendous athlete, but an incredible family man. His family meant everything to him. He was devoted to youth, too, and to helping them. He was a man of honor."

The star had a successful college career and even competed on the US Olympic Wrestling team back in 1980, before he became a part of the business. He also worked with a young Scott Steiner and often offered $10,000 to anyone who could beat him in the ring legitimately, as a nod to his very real wrestling career.

The star worked for WWE back when it was still called WWF. He was part of the Detroit circuit for the company and even worked with AWA. He made quite an impression at those shows.

The star was inducted into the NWA Hall of Fame this June. He was also part of the Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame back in 2015.
