According to Pwinsider.com, former WCW wrestler Al Green passed away this morning at the age of 58. He had been reportedly battling health issues for a while.

Green was originally trained by Steve Keirn, and worked as one half of the Master Blasters tag team with Kevin Nash. He also worked with Road Warrior Animal’s brother Marcus Laurinaitis as one half of the Terminators in the US and Japan. The team got a run in 1993 WCW as The Wrestling Crew, and from there had runs in Otto Wanz’ CWA and in All Japan Pro Wrestling in 1995. Green had a final run back with WCW in the company’s dying days, with the gimmick “The Dog.”

For the last few years, Green had been suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe. He had to use an oxygen tank full time.

On behalf of the Cauliflower Alley Club, we would like to extend our sympathies to the family, friends and fans of Mr. Green.

Pro wrestler and booker Buck Robley died on May 27, 2013 from congestive heart failure. He had been battling cancer. He got his start in pro wrestling in 1968 and also became a key figure behind the scenes. Robley was a booker in the Mid South promotion.

“I created a lot of people that you see out there today,” Robley bragged not that long ago. “The Freedbirds are my creation. Bruiser Brody was my creation. [Ted] DiBiase, I helped his career. A lot of people don’t know that. They thought I was just a big, ol’ dumb rassler.’

On behalf of the CAC, we extend our sympathies to his family during this sad time.
