A Legend Passes
March 18, 2008
As a wrestling-loving child I was always drawn to the talkers. You know, the guys who were able to sell a match or a feud on the mic. And while the business has seen countless eloquent speakers come and go none were better than “Playboy” Gary Hart (left). The former World Class Championship Wrestling star passed away Sunday afternoon at the age of 66.
Not only was Hart a great performer he also had one of the best minds in the business. The Chicago-native is credited for being one of men responsible for making WCCW one of the hottest promotions in the 80’s.
Surprisingly, there isn’t a lot of great footage of Hart available on the Internet but I think this clip paints a strong enough picture of his wizardry on the mic.
