Dave Meltzer at wrestlingobserver.com is reporting that pro wrestling legend Jack Brisco died Monday at the age of 68.

According to Meltzer, Brisco had been battling many health problems in recent years, including circulatory problems and emphysema. He underwent open-heart surgery a few weeks ago and collapsed while undergoing rehab a little over a week ago.

"He was my best friend and my hero growing up," Brian Blair told Meltzer, echoing comments made by several wrestlers and people in wrestling who grew up when Brisco was a larger-than-life personality promoted as the greatest technical wrestler and someone who could not be beat in a fair match.

Brisco was wrestling as part of a tag team with his brother, Gerald, in 1984 when he told his sibling he was flying home. He went home and never wrestled again.
