| Dave@wrestlingobserver.com Emory Hale, who did some wrestling for WCW and was being groomed to be a top heel in the shortlived XWF, passed away earlier today. Hale, who was about 6-6 and 300 pounds, suffered kidney failure three years ago and underwent transplant surgery. In 2002, Hulk Hogan kept him on a retainer as a prospective opponent if he would get involved in a new promotion after WCW folded. |
