I walked into a local wrestling event last year. Before the show there are tables set up with people selling stuff. From far away I had one of those "Oh my God is that..." moments. Totally fucking star struck. He was frail and not really a large man, after all he was 70. He was at a table selling stuff and signing autographs. Very nice and appreciative that people still remembered him. Most of the crowd weren't born when he was doing his high wire stuff. He really was the pioneer of the top rope.
