Author and historian Bertrand Hebert sent along the sad news that former WWF wrestler and manager Jean "Frenchy Martin" Gagne passed away this morning at 7:25 AM, several weeks after going into hospice care following a battle with cancer. He was 66 years old.
"I led an extraordinary life," Martin told The Montreal Journal last month. "I am proud to have succeeded in the world of wrestling. I am no more worthy than another, but I'm not afraid of death. I accept the result. "
Martin had long runs in Stampede and Puerto Rico before coming to the WWF in the 1980s, where he wrestled, did commentary, hosted an interview segment for international broadcasts and managed the late Dino Bravo among others.
The World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico dedicated their Anniversario events over the weekend to Martin.
On behalf of everyone associated with PWInsider.com, we'd like to send our deepest condolences to Martin's family, friends and fans.
