Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted January 9, 2017 Wayne Munn, aka "Big Munn", died from liver failure today in 1931 at the age of 34. Despite only wrestling for two years, he was the ninth NWA World Heavyweight Champion, beating Ed "Strangler" Lewis in a worked match. He was then beaten by Stanislaus Zbyszko in a double-cross 97 days later, in arguably pro-wrestling's first great swerve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
