Former pro wrestler Jorge "Giant" Gonzaelz dead at age 44
Sep 24, 2010 - 08:50 PM |
Former pro wrestler Jorge Gonzaelz died at the age of 44 due to various healthy complications. His Wikipedia page notes that he died on Wednesday. Ovacion Online reports that he had been confined to his home in Colorado in recent years. It was reported last year that he was wheelchair bound and was using a dialysis machine to treat diabetes. [Thanks to Devin Cutting of ProwrestlingEvents.tk.]
Powell's POV: Gonzalez worked as El Gigante in WCW, and then had a run as Giant Gonzaelz in WWE. He was originally drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in the third round of the 1988 draft. When that didn't work out, the story goes that Hawks owner Ted Turner offered him a job in WCW. My condolences go out to his friends and family.
