Former Wrestler Loses His Battle With Cancer

Last night, former wrestler "Dr Death" Steve Williams, lost his fight with throat cancer. He was 49 years old. Williams' health had been slowly declining over the last few months after his cancer returned early this year.

Background Info:
Williams began wrestling in 1979 with Mid-South Wrestling. He eventually began teaming with Ted DiBiase, before moving on to the NWA. There he teamed with Mike Rotunda, and the pair would go on to win the NWA Tag Team Titles. In 1989, Williams moved on to All Japan Pro Wrestling, where he teamed with Terry Gordy. After spending time at AJPW and some time on the Independent circuit in the U.S., Williams signed with the WWF in 1998, but was released after a short storyline. His final match of his wrestling career was in October of this year.
