Famous 1980’s Wrestling Star Dies Suddenly In Japan

Masashi Ozawa, widely known as the WWE legend Killer Khan, died suddenly Saturday at the age of 76.

According to Japanese media, Ozawa died at approximately 10 pm on Saturday after he was rushed to the hospital due to a ruptured artery. The former professional wrestler reportedly collapsed at the counter of Kanchan’s Jinjo Sakaba in Nishi-Shinjuku, Tokyo and was rushed to the hospital, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

Ozawa entered the professional wrestling business in November 1971. He faced off against a number of the sport’s greats throughout his career, including Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant. This helped to establish himself as a big draw both in Japan and the United States.

According to Cage Match, a wrestling database, he finished with 902 wins, 1194 losses and 184 draws in 2280 total matches. His best year was in 1985 when he won nearly 56% of his contests.
