Former WWF Star Passes

[HeyDareFessssss]

Corporal Kirchner (real name Thomas Spear) has passed from what's being described as "natural causes."  I'm sure there will be more to the story in the upcoming days...or he just died of natural causes.

<p>I vaguely remember this guy.&nbsp; was he teamed with Sarge for a while? Anyway RIP</p>

[HeyDareFessssss]

<p>He was most famous for his match with Volkoff at WrestleMania 2.</p><p>He was also famous for working a Death Match in Japan as Leatherface.&nbsp; He ripped a piece off a bed of nails, placed it on Hiroshi Ono's throat, and legdropped it on him.&nbsp; Let's just say they didn't want him back after that.</p><p>He was also known for his ridiculously stiff style, and he allegedly assaulted Vinny Mac.</p>

<p>Um...no he didn't:</p><p><font style="font-family: verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">WWE Makes Major Mistake, Cpl. Kirchner Not Dead<br /><br />Cpl. Kirchner speaks: &quot;I'm not dead!&quot;<br />By GREG OLIVER - Producer, SLAM! Wrestling<br /><br />It's
been a weird couple of days for the family of Corporal Kirchner.
WWE.com reported his death on Thursday, which then circulated widely
through the world. But Mike Kirchner is still around. &quot;I'm still alive
and well, and thanks for everybody's concern. I'm doing well, and I'm
happy and life is good.&quot;</font> <br /></p>

<p>That's crazy. Guess it's good news for his family.</p>

[HeyDareFessssss]

No way.&nbsp; He should have killed himself for the accuracy of the mighty Vince Empire.

He and Vader BOTH were very stiff. Vader almost ripped off Mick Foley's ear in Japan. (I think Japan?)
