Red Bastien dead at age 81
Aug 12, 2012 - 10:43 AM |
Legendary pro wrestler Rolland "Red" Bastien died on Saturday at age 81 following a long bout with Alzheimer's disease. Read more on his passing at Slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2010/05/02/13796526.html.
Powell's POV: Bastien was the president of the Cauliflower Alley Club from 2000 through 2007. His in-ring career was before my time, but I recall him making occasional appearances on AWA television in the '80s. The Slam article written by Greg Oliver is highly recommended, as it provides great details about his life and features quotes from a number of his peers.
