• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (November 29, 1998) – Old School WCW Veteran Passed Away
On this day in 1998, we lost Old School WCW Veteran Loch Ness aka Giant Haystacks (Real name: Martin Ruane) at the age of 51 due to Lymphoma.
As Giant Haystacks he became a legend in Europe, where especially his rivalry against fellow UK Wrestling Legend ‘Big Daddy’ stands out.
In early 1996, he joined Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling as Loch Ness, a member of Kevin Sullivan’s Dungeon of Doom.
Loch Ness was booked for a feud against Hulk Hogan, but that never happened as Ruane was diagnosed with cancer and left the promotion.
Giant Haystacks is ranked #5 on a list of THE single heaviest professional wrestlers of all time, listed as weighing 690 lbs / 313 kg when he was at his heaviest.
† REST IN PEACE LOCH NESS
