One of the greatest of all time.

Quote:
Nick Bockwinkel -- WWE Hall of Famer -- and pioneer of the sports-entertainment culture has died ... TMZ has learned.
WWE released a statement confirming the death of the 4-time AWA Heavyweight Champ ... but a cause of death is yet to be revealed.
Bockwinkel began his career in the 1950's ... paving the way for pro-wrestlers today with his excellent grappling skills, and charismatic ring interviews.
He was also managed by legendary WWE star Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
Bockwinkel was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007.
R.I.P.

One of my all-time favorites...RIP. He also did color for the AWA. He was pretty good at that,too.

Even when it's not a young fella, it's a damned shame to see a name like this in the obit section.

Was looking at pictures of Bockwinkel throughout his career and came across this gem.

Anyone know what this is about?

Here's the companion piece for the pic, although sadly Kamala does not appear at the very bottom.
