• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (June 2, 2003) – Old School WWF Manager Passed Away
On this day in 2003, we lost legendary Old School WWF Manager “Classy” Freddie Blassie at the age of 85.
After wrestling during the 40s, 50s, 60s & early 70s, Fred Blassie became an on-screen manager in 1974 for Vince McMahon Sr.’s World Wide Wrestling Federation.
Among his clients were famous WWF Superstars like Hulk Hogan, The Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff, Hercules Hernandez and many others.
In the summer of 1986, he gave his remaining clients to the young up and coming manager Slick and slowly retired from the on screen role of his TV character.
† REST IN PEACE FREDDIE BLASSIE!
