Iron Mike Sharpe passed away over the weekend in Hamilton, Ontario. Sharpe, age 64, had been dealing with a number of health issues in recent years. Sharpe was trained by the late Dewey “Missing Link” Robertson, and followed his father Mike and Uncle Ben into the business. Sharpe, billed as Canada’s Greatest Athlete, was originally brought into the WWF in 1983 to challenge champion Bob Backlund. Sharpe, who also worked in New Japan Pro Wrestling, is best known as the top heel enhancement talent for WWE during the 80s and early 90s.
On behalf of everyone here on the website, I would like to extend our condolences to the family, friends and fans of Mr. Sharpe.
