Pro wrestling legend Kevin Sullivan, who served as a major foe for Hulk Hogan on World Championship Wrestling television, has died. He was 74 years old.

On Friday, WWE announced that Sullivan had died. His passing comes months after he suffered a "devastating accident" in May, according to a GoFundMe fundraiser organized by his daughter, Nicole Sullivan, to help pay for medical expenses. The page noted that Sullivan "underwent emergency surgery that saved his leg and life but faced severe complications, including sepsis and encephalitis."

Sullivan was born on Oct. 26, 1949. He began his pro wrestling career in the early 1970s, and along with performing for various organizations, he'd become a part of World Championship Wrestling (WCW), where he was perhaps best known.

Roddy Piper puts on the damn glasses in They Live

He was here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, but now, after suffering a heart attack, popular wrestler and They Live star "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has died at the age of 61. According to his agent, he survived the initial attack, which happened at his home in Hollywood, but subsequently passed away in his sleep.

Most famous as a wrestler, piper enjoyed a 30 year professional career and continued to make occasional appearances in the ring right up to this year.

If you haven't heard about Pro Wrestlers vs Zombies prepare yourself because we're about to educate you on the most ridiculously over the top looking thing in… well, months.

It's exactly what the title suggests: a bunch of old time wrestlers duke it out against a bunch of zombies. There's a plot but who needs it when you have "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Kurt Angle (ha!) and Matt Hardy duking it out against a bunch of dead alives? It looks as ridiculous as you could possibly imagine and I expect that with a group of people, this will play like gangbusters.

Check out the ridiculous trailer and if you're game for some trashy viewing, you can pick up a special edition of Pro Wrestlers vs Zombies [Continued ...]...
