cabinessence Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Sad day in the world of the squared circle. Iron Mike Sharpe. He will be remembered for his constant shouting throughout matches and the alleged loaded black arm band. I don't know if it was ever proven that it was though. http://www.thestar.com/sports/2016/01/18/former-canadian-wwe-star-iron-mike-sharpe-dies-at-64.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift-4 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Back when wrestling was cool (also known as the age of 12) he was the guy that was just the stand in patsy who needed to get beat by real stars. Clearly gone too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Zamboni Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 RIP. I dont remember Mike, but when i heard "loaded black wrist band" it made me think of the good old days of stampede wrestling and wrestler Duke Myers that also wore a wrist band that was rumored to be loaded...

Gurn Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 When I was a kid I used to think that Mike Sharpe would be unstoppable if he learned how to do a drop kick. 64 seems young, but those guys used to abused their bodies badly on stunts and beer.
