The obituary for the late Rolland "Red" Bastien features comments from Twin Cities pro wrestling historians Mick Karch and George Schire. ""If you knew Red Bastien, he was a character," Shire said. He was always playing jokes. He was very talented, respected and loved by his fellow wrestlers and his fans. ... Outside the ring, he was a friend to everyone."
Mick Karch added: "He was technically very gifted, and a crowd favorite. People in the Twin Cities loved him. Everybody liked him. I never heard a bad word about him, and that is rare in the wrestling business." Read the full obituary at Startribune.com/local/166043446.html.
