• Old School Wrestling Legend Would Have Celebrated His Birthday
Today would have been the 84th birthday of Old School Wrestling Legend Ray “The Crippler” Stevens (Real name: Carl Ray Stevens).
Ray Stevens wrestled for 42 years, from 1950 till 1992, working for various territories such as the American Wrestling Association (AWA), the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), Championship Wrestling from Florida (CWF), Jim Crockett Promotions & NWA Big Time Wrestling.
He won championships in pretty much every promotion he worked for, but has yet to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, which is most likely going to happen as part of their annual “Legacy Wing” inductions.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY & † REST IN PEACE
September 5, 1935 – May 3, 1996
