Legendary WCCW manager, Skandor Akbar, dies at the age of 75

By Rich Twilling

Skandor Akbar (Jim Wehba) has passed away at the age of 75. His cause of death is currently unknown. Akbar was famous for his work as a manager for World Class Championship Wrestling, feuding against the Von Erich family. There is a very good piece written about him over at Slam Wrestling, including older comments from Jim Ross and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

Twill's Two Cents: My condolences go out to his family. Akbar was a great (and hated) heel manager. RIP.
