Details are sketchy, but GERWECK.NET has learned that 80's wrestling star The Angel of Death was found dead in his hometown of Arlington, TX. The Angel of Death wrestled for World Class Championship Wrestling and the Universal Wrestling Federation, among others, in the 80's and early 90's.  One of my favorite heels. RIP. |

Yes, I live near Arlington and was told about this earlier this morning by my friend.
Heart attack is what I heard, but I don't know that for sure.

Wow, that's a little.... well, I'll admit it's odd even reading that.
Condolences to friends and family all the same.

Sad. I wonder if Marc ever grappled with him.  |

I believe he was the original choice to be the Black Scorpion.
RIP

RIP Angel. How many does that make this year? To many by my count.

I believe he was the original choice to be the Black Scorpion. RIP I still don't believe there ever was an original choice, but yes, Dave was part of the angle and even played one of the fake ones (he was in the same wrestling school with Sting and Warrior). He did other stuff in WCW (and NWA/Crockett) as well, including teaming with Jack Victory as the Russian Assassins. His career more or less ended due to a botched move by PN Newz, I believe. RIP, AoD. |

This sucks. To me, he'll always be the "real" Black Scorpion. He revealed himself to apparently be the real Scorpion during Scorpy's first wrestling appearance at the Clash, and later was inside the cage at Starrcade '90 in Scorpion gear when Flair was revealed and the angle concluded. Combine all those factors with Sheldon's past history with Sting (which honestly would've made some of the Scorpion's "clues" he dropped make sense), and that's why to me Dave Sheldon has always been the heart of the confusing Black Scorpion character. RIP.  |

RIP. Was he the Scorpion that performed the magic tricks? Nope. The man responsible for that is Franz Harary.  One thing I always wanted to do was get an 8x10 pic of the Scorpion printed, and have the "3 hearts" of the Black Scorpion (the voice -Ole Anderson, the wrestler-Dave Sheldon, and the magic-Harary) sign it. That would've been a sweet, one of a kind Scorpion collectible. |

He was also a member of the Freebirds at one time as well, wasn't he?
