On this day in 1998, we lost legendary midget wrestler Sky Low Low (Real name: Marcel Gauthier) at the age of 70 due to a heart attack.
80s Fans might remember him for some of his WWF appearances such as being Vince McMahon’s guest on the weekly TV show TNT Tuesday Night Titans.
Sky Low Low was also seen at “Butcher” Paul Vachon’s wedding, that aired on yet another episode of Tuesday Night Titans in 1984.
He was the shortest wrestler in WWF/WWE history, standing at a height of only 3-foot-7.
