"Hangman" Bobby Jaggers passed away Sunday from renal failure and various health issues. He was 64 years old.
Throughout his 19-year career, Jaggers was a journeyman wrestler who competed in various territories including the Pacific Northwest (where he began his career in 1972), Memphis, Kansas City, Amarillo (after Dory Funk, Jr. saw him in Kansas City), San Francisco, Louisiana, Vancouver, Atlanta (where he teamed with Hulk Hogan), Knoxville, Florida, Mid-Atlantic, and Puerto Rico. He was also known as one-half of the Kansas Jayhawks with Dutch Mantel.
Before getting into pro wrestling, he served in the U.S. Army for a year and a half in Vietnam. He was in the "A" Battery of the 1/30 Artillery 1st Calvary, and fought in battles in Hue, Khe Saah, A-Shau Valley, and the Tet offensive.
Retired from the sport in 1991, Jaggers worked for the state of Kansas as an engineering tech. Recently, he was working at Kansas' Department of Homeland Security as a road and bridge specialist.

In all seriousness though RIP to this living legend. He was the best wwf champion in the history or rasslin. His matches with hulk hogan were epic.

Oh wait that was Andre the Giant and Macho Man I'm confusing him with. Sorry.
I suppose Bobby was able to secure a job within the Kansas DHS due to his relatively low profile. If John Cena applied to work for DHS post-retirement, then he might be declined due to being too well known / a public target.

No, you're dead wrong about that notion, Damon. I wanted to show respect and tribute to the wrestlers that came before our time, because like it or not, without them, the sport wouldn't be where it's it today. Is he a top guy? No, but he's one of many that helped paved the way.

You act like he's Bruno Sammartino or Georgeous George or something. If he around today, he'd be some bum in ROH or at the very best Yoshi Tatsu. Only not a jap. In 30 years will you be posting threads like "RIP, The Goon"?
