Wrestling:RIP Wahoo McDaniel

Legendary WCW star Wahoo McDaniels has passed on. As a kid, I used to love watching Wahoo. It's a shame to see him pass on. Rest in peace!

Long live the king of the Indian Strap Match!!!

Thanks for posting this article. I didn't know Wahoo was this ill! I remember him from the 80's with Roddy Piper and Sgt Slaughter and so forth. Met him once at the Coliseum in Phoenix in the mid 80's with Paul Orndorff. I never saw Wahoo as a football player. Rest in peace!

I will miss him. The last WCW National Champion.

Brings back old memories......I never will forget being a kid and seeing Johnny Powers wrestle Dick"The Bulldog "Brower.

Anyone remember:
Ernie Ladd
BoBo Brazil
Panparo Firpo
The Love Brothers, Hartford and Reginald
The Sheik

Wo! I'm not that old. I've heard of Ernie. Met the Iron Sheik once. Is that the Sheik? That white robe. Scary face. Scared a teenager too.

Ernie Ladd used to be a proffesional football player If im not mistaken.
