According to TMZ, Ox Baker has passed away. He was 80. Baker started wrestling in the early 60s, working the WWWF, Stampede Wrestling, The AWA and many other territories. Baker and his heart punch gained fame following a tag team match involving Alberto Torres. Torres was injured during the match and died three days later. Evidence indicated that Torres died of a ruptured appendix, but Baker’s heart punch was blamed and from there, the legendary status of Baker’s heart punch started to grow.
Baker also got into acting, appearing in Escape from New York, The Big Brawl and Blood Circus. He also made an appearance on The Price is Right. On behalf of everyone here on the websitr, I would like to extend our condolences to the family, friends and fans of Mr. Baker.
