sek69 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Rick "Black Bart" Harris passed away at age 76 after long battle with cancer. He wasn't the biggest star but he was a guy who always showed up if even for a little bit in pretty much every promotion I watched as a kid.

El-P Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 He's the first noticeable jobber I remember from watching WWF in 1990. I think he may have been in the very first episode I ever taped. And he was noticeable because the announcer would put him over as a tough guy. Only seen some of his WCW and territorial stuff way later of course. Yeah. Black Bart indeed.

Blehschmidt Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Ahhh damn it. Bart has become one of my guilty pleasure wrestlers over the years. His fired up, ranting promo style never ceases to amuse me, and that legdrop from the ropes always looked awesome for a guy his size. I never got to meet him in person, but a couple years ago he was doing a virtual autograph signing and I purchased one and asked for it to be signed "To Dadgum Bob" and he got a grin on his face and slipped into his promo voice and said "Well Dadgum It Bob, why don't you buy another one!" and it just made me love the guy more. We'll Miss You Mr. Harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
