One of the greatest masked wrestlers of all time and a great heel as the Super Destroyer Don Jardine passes away after a 4 year battle with Leukemia and Heart Disease he was 66.
Whether he was wrestling as The Spoiler or The Super Destroyer Don Jardine was a geat worker with tremendous balance and grace walking the top ropes like smaller wrestlers
He had great feuds in the 70's putting his mask on the line saying he would unmask if beaten by playing the top heel.
He always found a way to keep it having feuds with Johnny Weaver Rufus R Jones Swede Hansen and the great feud he had with the top babyface Paul Jones who finally defeated The Super Destroyer In South Carolina.
Rest In Peace You Will Be Missed Don Jardine A real class act

I think he was my favourite heel from the early '70s. I believe he rivaled Johnny Valentine's aura of menace. What a loss....
