The man lied so much about so many things that no one believed him when he said he was dying.

Like many in wrestling he will leave a checkered legacy for people to look at. Probably the single biggest draw of all time and most important driver of wrestling popularity at the time wrestling was most popular, pushing it beyond "territory" popularity and making it an international entertainment behemoth. He made others rich just by being on the card. On the flip side, he was a racist ####head who was a corporate stooge that would always put his self-interest above all.

I don't think he will be missed, but his contribution to wrestling will never be deniable.
