Sad news to report today as ‘Iron’ Mike Sharpe, legendary WWF jobber icon and “Canada’s Greatest Athlete,” passed away over the weekend at age 64. Sharpe reportedly had been dealing with a number of health issues. “Injured forearm” was definitely one of them.
Sharpe is one of the most recognizable “enhancement talents” in wrestling history, alongside contemporaries like Barry Horowitz and The Brooklyn Brawler. If you’re making a Mt. Rushmore of wrestlers there to make their opponents look good, Sharpe is the George Washington. A second generation competitor trained by the late Missing Link, Sharpe entered the business in 1977 and made a name for himself in Gene Kiniski’s NWA All Star Wrestling. WWF came calling in 1983, and Sharpe — managed by Captain Lou Albano — was initially successful enough to challenge Bob Backlund for the WWF Championship. After that, it was mostly losing to people while Gorilla Monsoon deadpanned stories of Sharpe being Canada’s #1 athlete.
‘Iron’ Mike will be missed by anyone who grew up loving pro wrestling in the 1980s and paid too much attention to the folks on the losing end. I definitely count myself as one of them. If you aren’t familiar with his work, here are a few clips to get you acquainted. Rest in peace, Iron Mike. If they ever make a physical WWE Hall of Fame, I hope your forearm guard makes it in.

Odd 90 day suspension
--- Titus O'Neil Has Been Suspended Following A Bizarre Altercation With Vince McMahon
According to PWI, Titus O’Neil was sent home from Tuesday night’s Smackdown tapings in Portland, Oregon, and suspended for “unprofessional conduct” following a strange incident after Monday’s Raw went off the air.
If you caught Daniel Bryan’s retirement celebration, you may have seen it. After Bryan said his goodbyes and returned to the back, the assembled talent out to help him celebrate began to file to the back, as well. As Vince McMahon walked by, Titus grabbed McMahon’s arm in what’s being described as a “playful, physical way.” McMahon shoved him, and the show went off the air. Here it is in GIF form, as it’s been scrubbed from all replays and Dot Com videos. Pay close attention to Lana’s, “What just happened, are we still on?” face.
Hypothetical dialogue:
Titus: “Hey, we need to talk about me losing to Adam Rose”
Vince: “I DON’T KNOW WHO THAT IS, LET GO OF ME DAMMIT”
The incident didn’t look serious during the live broadcast, and many fans assumed it was a playful interaction between the two. Apparently not, as O’Neil’s suspension is reportedly for “upwards of 90 days,” meaning he’ll be missing WrestleMania. We’ll keep you updated if any additional information drops, but until then, please watch that GIF on loop and try to figure out what the hell’s going on.
