Default Freddie Blassie is dead.
When I was little, my dad, who was LAPD, worked off duty at the Olympic Auditorium. He used to take me to see boxing, wrestling, and Roller Derby. I sometimes sat with the owners, Cal and Aileen Eaton. I once saw Freddie Blassie ("Yer a pencil necked geek.") pick up my dad in uniform and carry him around the ring.

Yes, some of us do. Long blond (later, white) hair, gravelly voice. What a showman.

Brant-

He just died. A friend of mine in the gym who follows wrestling told me this morning that he was sick and in the hospital for awhile.
