BEVERLY DUNDEE PASSES AWAY

By Mike Johnson on 2016-05-26 20:02:00

Jamie Dundee announced on his Facebook page this afternoon that his mother Beverly passed away today.

The wife of Memphis wrestling legend Bill Dundee, Beverly was a major player in an angle in the Memphis territory in 1977 during the Jerry Lawler vs. Dundee feud.

After losing a hair vs. hair match and having his head shaved bald at the Mid-South Coliseum, Dundee offered to put his wife's hair up.  Lawler won again and the fact he had Dundee's wife shaved bald was a regular crack Lawler would make during his decades long rivalry with the Dundee family.  The angle from that point was that Lawler retired to become a singer (he actually did release a record) only to have Jimmy Valiant, a top heel, attack him during a concert, leading to Lawler's return as a babyface.

On behalf of everyone associated with PWInsider.com, we'd like to express our deepest condolences to the Dundee family.
