Gary Hart Dies!!

Gary Hart passed away yesterday afternoon at his home in Euless, TX, after returning from an autograph session in Allentown, PA. He was 66.

Hart would have been among the top wrestling managers of all-time and was a fixture in the Dallas area working for Fritz Von Erich. He was best known for managing people like Bruiser Brody, The Spoiler, Great Kabuki, Chris Adams and the Great Muta.

Hart was the heel manager used when Eddie Graham and booker Bill Watts turned Dusty Rhodes babyface in Florida in 1974. As a booker, he was the mastermind of the building of Kerry Von Erich in Dallas in the early 80s, and booked the famous Christmas 1982 cage match with Ric Flair that ignited the territory.

Sad to see yet another of the greats pass on.

yeah man. The old manager of J-Tex (who eventually feuded with Flair and Sting, until Ole and Arn anderson jumped in and briefly re-united the horsemen). Another great leaves.

RIP Playboy Gary Hart

shame....R.I.P

Agreed, another sad loss to pro wrestling. RIP Playboy.
