Masashi Ozawa passed away last night at the age of 76.
Ozawa, better known as Killer Khan collapsed in his bar in Tokyo.
He was known for injuring Andre the Giant and feuding with Hulk Hogan and a pioneer of the Mongolian Chop. After retiring he ran numerous bars and restaurants

Watched a collection of Andre matches and he had some great brawls with Killer Khan.
Rest in peace, sir.

I just remember Bruce's story of Vince calling Khan a pussy over and over
RIP

I remembered being scared of him after he blew the green mist in Hogan's face on the Snake Pit.
RIP

Killer Khan is one of those guys that I’ve somehow almost completely missed just due to him more or less disappearing once Hulkamania really took off. I only really know about him for “breaking” Andre’s leg.
RIP

I remembered being scared of him after he blew the green mist in Hogan's face on the Snake Pit. RIP That was probably one of the best mist shots ever, IMO.

I saw a video where Khan stepped to both Road Warriors showing no fear whatsoever, R.I.P.

This makes me sad. Killer Khan main-evented the first live show I ever saw, against Hogan. A great wrestling character.

R.I.P. Killer Khan. I remember that Hogan feud in 1987 too. Wasn’t the character Kin Corn Karn from Pro Wrestling on the NES based on him?

Very sad shame his 1987 run didn’t go longer
