Death:

Ox Baker died today at the age of 80, Jerry The King Lawler broke the news via Twitter. He had been ill for some time. Baker was one of few wrestlers to find fame outside of the ring, with his role in the John Carpenter movie ''Escape From New York''. The director of that added his tribute to the WWE icon on his Facebook, and WWE released this statement...

''WWE is saddened to learn that Ox Baker, a feared villain of the ring for more than three decades, passed away Monday morning at age 80. A 6-foot-5 behemoth from Waterloo, Iowa, Baker originally competed in WWWF in the late 1960s and became one of the most intimidating forces known inside the squared circle — both due to his unique look and devastating heart punch. Over the span of an impressive career, the big man traded blows with the likes of WWE Hall of Famers Hulk Hogan, Dusty Rhodes and Harley Race. Outside the ring, Baker also put the hurt on actor Kurt Russell as the brute played an appropriately savage warrior in the post-apocalyptic world of John Carpenter’s 1981 sci-fi classic, “Escape from New York.'' WWE extends its condolences to Baker’s colleagues, friends and family.''

RIP Ox...
