WWE Wrestler & Manager Frenchy Martin Passes Away
Jeane Gagne, known better by his WWE name Frenchy Martin, has passed away. PWInsider is reporting that Gagne, who was battling cancer, died this morning after going into hospice care. He was 66 years old.
WWE.com posted the following statment:
“Though he began his WWE career as a competitor, Martin is best remembered for his time as the manager of the mighty Dino Bravo. Donning a brash monocle and a sequined beret, Martin helped his fellow French Canadian find success in 1987, while enraging American fans by carrying around a sign that read “USA Is Not OK.” Martin’s ringside antics made him a memorable face of WWE in the late ’80s despite a relatively brief run.”
