Reggie “The Crusher” Lisowski passed away in 2005 at 79 years old. He was billed as "The Wrestler That Made Milwaukee Famous" and was an extremely popular blue-collar brawling babyface for the AWA. He was inducted into WCW's Hall of Fame in 1994 and was voted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2005. He's certainly a likely candidate for future inclusion in the WWE Hall of Fame's Legacy Wing.
