As you can see from the Wiki list, not yet dead old timer wrestlers keep being found down the back of various sofas as no one was keeping records in the 50s - however, I've stuck to adding the few new names who might get you a QO in various deadpools. Caswell Martin (born 1932) lives, for example, but wont pick up a QO for anything, outside of maybe the Deathrace. 1937 - Mark Lewin, Jim Breaks (age given when arrested), Angelo Mosca, Paul Vachon Angelo Mosca reportedly over the ropes, aged 84: https://slamwrestling.net/index.php/2021/11/06/angelo-mosca-dead-at-84/ 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,436 Posted November 25, 2021 A Terry Funk sort of update. Basically confirming his memory is shot and he remains in a nursing home now. Whisper it but I think this latest retirement is probably for real now. Quote “He’s in assisted living. I spoke to him earlier this year and he had a hard time remembering and he snapped back in. I was trying to get him on one of these Pro Wrestling Spotlight Live [shows] that I did on YouTube. I talked to him but I just knew after that conversation that it wasn’t gonna happen because he was in the middle of a conversation and he goes, ‘am I John, who are you?’ He didn’t really remember very much but when I was with Mick Foley not too long ago, a couple of weeks back here in Nashville, he had talked to Terry recently and he said that Terry was sounding better. He’s getting the care he needs and it looks like Terry Funk is fighting as he always has done to this time just remain cognizant and just be the legend that he is and we wish him the best and we pray for him all the time.” I admit the source doesn't talk in the most clear English you'll read...
