After a long, hard battle with an illness, Midwest Star Jaysin Strife (real name Nathan Blodgett) passed away last night at the age of 37.
Strife wrestled all around the indies, as well as across the pond. He had appearances in WWE and AEW. But around here, he's more known as the owner/promoter of Magnum Wrestling out of Omaha, Nebraska.
This hits me kinda hard. I met Jaysin at a local show here in Sioux Falls a number of years ago. He was fun to talk to, and always had some great matches. He also wrestled as the "Charismatic K-9" Yellow Dog. Whether he was a heel or a face, he always left you with a smile and wanting more. So many wrestlers around here have said nothing but high praise for him. He was known for having one of the longest matches in modern pro wrestling history, the 7-hour Iron Man Match (which I have on DVD).
Godspeed, Jaysin Strife. We love you, and will miss you...
Forever the 7-Hour Iron Man.
Forever the Bulletproof Tiger.
