• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (February 19, 2002) – Old School WWF Veteran Passed Away
On this day in 2002, we lost Old School WWF Veteran “Big” Swede Hanson at the age of 68 due to a Sepsis.
Hanson wrestled for the World Wide Wrestling Federation / World Wrestling Federation during the 70s & 80s.
During his last 2 years in the WWF (1984 & 1985) he was mainly used as a “Jobber To The Stars” to put over big names like Don Muraco, Bob Orton Jr., Randy Savage, Adrian Adonis, King Kong Bundy, Bret Hart and Jesse Ventura, but also gained a few wins in between over wrestlers like Steve Lombardi, Charlie Fulton and Rene Goulet.
† REST IN PEACE SWEDE HANSON!

I thought someone else turning my homework in with their name on it ended after high school…

Despite all that, I’m really happy for @KingRicochet because he’s really awesome and deserves a shot.

No. I won’t. That was my best shot. The rest is out of my hands.

I’m doing my best. I promise you, I am. But they won’t let me off the bench, and they just gave the bat I carved myself to someone else for their at-bat. If I ever get to the plate, I promise you I’m swinging for the sun and 3 stars ❤️?? https://t.co/uiIJzzRkB9
