Dick Beyer, who left an incredible legacy as The Intelligent, Sensational Destroyer, as former AWA World champion Doctor X, and as a coach, died today, March 7, just after noon eastern time in his home just outside Buffalo, New York. He was 88.
His son, Kurt Beyer, posted the news:
"It is with a very heavy heart to let you know that Dad -- aka The Destroyer, aka Doctor X, aka Dick Beyer, aka Coach -- passed away shortly past Noon today. He was in bed at home, and was surrounded by all of his children and wife as he slipped peacefully away. I will have more to share later, but wanted you to hear this sad news from me first. Thoughts and prayers are most welcome at his time. Peace."

Wrestlers are dying in droves!.....................
Remember watching him on TV in SoCal in the 60s. His figure-four leg lock was apparently unbeatable.
I don’t remember watching him. It may have been a transitional part of life between little kid and big kid, or losing my memory. Condolences to family and friends of Dick Beyer.
and King Kong Bundy just a few days ago ...
RIP.
