The wrestling legend died in his sleep of congestive heart failure at the age of 46 on January 27, 1993 in a Paris hotel room. He was in the city to attend his father's funeral. His body was cremated according to his wishes and his ashes were scattered at his ranch in Ellerbe, North Carolina.

- According to this week's issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there is talk within WWE of finding a woman to team with Kalisto to face Rusev and Lana in mixed tag team matches. Lana has been wrestling more frequently at live events in case the idea transpires.

Lana made her NXT in-ring debut at last Friday's show in Lakeland, Florida. Teaming with Mandy Rose, the blonde bombshells lost to Carmella and Daria Berenato.
