Ox Baker passes away at age 80
Posted: Oct 20th 2014 By: Memphis Wrestling News
Ox Baker, former member of Jimmy Hart's First Family, passed away this morning after suffering a fatal heart attack at the age of 80.
Baker was probably best known monstrous, intimidating look and his devastating heart punch, but he also acted in several movies including Jackie Chan's "The Big Brawl" and John Carpenter's "Escape From New York" in which he battled the star Kurt Russell. Plus, the cult classic wrestling film "I Like to Hurt People" borrowed his catch phrase for its title.
Baker?s wrestling career spanned 30 years and saw him holding championship titles all around the world. He will be missed by all his fans and peers in the business.
