Bon Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 WWE legend who battled Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant has died Published: Jan. 01, 2024, 5:00 a.m. By Brian Linder | blinder@pennlive.com Killer Khan, a giant of a man who feuded with Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan in the WWE in the 1980s, has died, according to multiple reports. His real name was Masashi Ozawa. He was billed as standing at 6-foot-5 inches tall and weighing 311 pounds. Khan died after suffering a ruptured artery and collapsing at a restaurant he owned in Tokyo, per reports. Khan reportedly began wrestling in 1971 and retired in 1987. He was, perhaps, most famously known for breaking Andre the Giant’s ankle in 1981. The spot was done to help cover for the fact that Andre the Giant had already broken the ankle and needed time off. He and Khan then battled, working a program together, when he returned from injury. He also had some roles in film, including a sport in “3 Ninjas Kick Back.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
