I think Cowboy Bob Ellis was the wrestler @allancheapshot.bsky.social discovered had passed away for sometime ago. He was reported as the oldest wrestler alive up to that point.

“Once Colt is defeated, Ellis drags him by his hair around the stadium, like a Matador parade, the ear of the bull.”

“I’d like to grab Backlund’s leg and rip it off, no, not rip it off completely, just kind of let it dangle a bit you know watch it swell and listen to back and scream and cry. “ - Greg Valentine (1980)
