Ed "Sailor" White, professionally known as Moondog King, has passed away at the age of 56. White entered WWE in the early 1980s as one of the original Moondogs. King and Moondog Rex captured the World Tag Team Championship in March 1981 when they defeated Tony Garea and Rick Martel in Allentown, PA.

Man, sorry to hear that; especially at only 56. What a shame.

My prayers go to his family and friends, and may he R.I.P. :wavesad:

I don't remember him specifically, but RIP Anyway...

(A lot of 80s wrestling blurs together to me)

I don't know, they haven't mentioned anything as of yet.

I would assume it could be either his weight or former problems, or a combo of both that caught up with him. He was rather heavy most of his life, and earlier had a number of drug / alcohol problems before cleaning himself up. I'm sure we might hear more in the next week or so.
