A transcendent icon that, thanks to significant influence by the iconic Gorgeous George, pioneered the true art of being a sports heel. Pro wrestling, while something he never participated in beyond guest appearances, was overwhelmingly influenced by his contributions to the sports industry, which crossed over into entertainment and societal culture. He displayed the true art of promoting a combat sport, and his legacy with his hands, his mouth, and his effect on society will be remembered forever, influencing athletes and entertainers for decades, if not centuries, to come.
RIP TO THE GOAT. TO QUOTE ROH'S BIRTH SLOGAN: OFTEN IMITATED, NEVER DUPLICATED.
