Popular wrestler Brad Armstrong, who entertained thousands of fans along the Gulf coast and across the nation, was found dead Thursday at his home in Marietta, GA. According to several reports, Armstrong had recently seen a doctor for an undisclosed illness.
His real name was Robert Bradley James, son of WWE Hall of Fame superstar "Bullet" Bob Armstrong.

Brad Armstrong was 51 years old.
