Chief Jay Strongbow has died
It's being rumored Chief Jay Strongbow has passed
Jim Ross tweeted: Sad to hear of the passing this morning of WWE HOF’er Chief Jay Strongbow, a beloved member of WWE family. RIP Chief. He was originally known as the italian Joe Scarpa which is his real name but is perhaps best known as Chief Jay Strongbow ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bill Savage went over to the (Stu Hart) house and one of the Hart kids was running around with his hair wet. Savage asked why his hair was wet. Stu said, "the little bast--d broke a vase this morning, so I stuck his head in the toilet. Want me to show you again?"

He was one of greatest wrestlers from the 1960s and 1970s. My father grew up watching him wrestle. At least he and Chief Wahoo McDaniel can pass the peace pipe in heaven.

I thought he had been dead....so this changes nothing about my day. Can't be super sad, fucker was 83. Hate to lose a legend though, so this Bud's for you Strongbow.

Mentioned a lot in Brets book - he seemed like a genuinely good guy. Sad news, though he had a good innings.

LOL, you'd have thought Seth was son or best friend from high school between the pictures and the being pissed at not being acknowledged under every ring name he's ever used.
I mean WWE didn't even mention his WWWF feud with Spiros Arion in 1975....what the fucking fuck! |

Fun fact - Guy on the right is General Adnan. He had one of my favorite kayfabe reasons for retiring from inring competition - Ken Patera broke his fucking neck with a Full Nelson

Because in a 2-minute vignette, it is easiest to acknowledge what he is best known for THROUGHOUT THE WORLD and not just in a single territory 50 years ago.

Point being, if Stone Cold died they would do it about "Stone Cold" and not "Stunning" Steve. Both were successful and high profile gimmicks in different companies, but one was clearly more successful and well-known around the wrestling world.

Strongbow ripped into someone backstage for doing a convoluted move saying, "If it was a street fight you wouldn't do that."
Owen Hart was listening and said, "Yeah, if it was a street fight I'd hop around on one leg doing a war dance." |
