Wrestling legend Jack Brisco passed away yesterday at the age of 68.

Brisco was a former NWA world champion and NCAA champion, and was considered one of the best wrestlers in the history of the industry.

In recent times, Brisco had been battling with health problems. Brisco’s problems included emphyzema. He recently underwent open heart surgery, and a little over a week ago, collapsed while undergoing rehab and flatlined at one point.

Jack’s brother, Gerald Brisco, who was very close to Jack, has himself been having health issues after suffering strokes.

Both brothers were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame at the 2008 ceremony.
