Wrestling Vet Chris Markoff Passes
Pro great had a stroke in January
The Cauliflower Alley Club is saddened to hear of the passing of veteran grappler Chris Markoff.
Long time CAC member, former AWA announcer Mick Karch broke the news on social media with this post on Feb. 10. 2024: "I am so sad to report the passing of a dear friend, a great veteran of the wrestling world, Chris Markoff. I knew Chris for almost 60 years and worked with him so many times. It wasn’t totally unexpected but still is devastating. I can hear his booming voice: “Well, let me tell you… the Russians is coming!” God bless him. Now all three of the trio that The Crusher referred to as the “Dolly Sisters” (Chris, Larry Hennig and Harley Race) are reunited."
Slam wrestling, as usual, does an excellent job with the news of Markoff's passing on it's website (whose link can be found below).
The CAC extends its heartfelt sympathies to the family, friends and fans of Chris Markoff. May he rest in peace.
