Billy Wicks, one of the all time great shooters and tough guys during the territory era and a huge star in the Memphis area, passed away yesterday due to complications from a stroke he suffered a week ago at the age of 84. He had just been moved to hospice a few days before.
Wicks wrestled from the 1950s until the late 1970s and was a massively huge babyface feuding with Sputnick Monroe. He was featured in the great "Memphis Heat" documentary. He was an unbelievably legitimately tough man and worked in law enforcement for years after his wrestling career ended.
On behalf of everyone associated with PWInsider, we extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends and fans of Billy Wicks.
