Jan 4, 2018 · On June 26, 1992, the legendary Nature Boy Buddy Rogers passed away. He was 71 years old. According to Meltzer, Buddy "suffered three strokes over two weeks prior to his death. The second and third left him blind and paralyzed on one side of the body."
Rogers was named the initial champion, but once again, he was hampered by illness. On May 17, 1963, Buddy put Bruno Sammartino over at Madison Square Garden, and retired soon thereafter. Rogers was a one-of-a-kind performer, and his abilities transcended the sport in innumerable ways.
