"Dr. Death" Steve Williams has died

If you were a stupid kid in the 80s who actually believed wrestling was real (like I was) then you had to love this guy. Sad that he died at such a young age.

This is too bad. Steve was a great guy.

I used to see him a lot at the Centenary Oyster Bar in Shreveport back in the late 80's. Was Shreveport his home town?

The guy was a real wrestler before he did the pro stuff. He lived in Benton.
