Longtime pro wrestler Phil Hickerson has died at age 79, according to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com. The cause of death was not disclosed.
Powell’s POV: I remember Hickerson best from my limited viewing of his days in the Memphis territory, and later seeing him more frequently in the USWA, where he worked as PY Chu-hi. Hickerson was inducted into the Memphis Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1995, the same year he retired, capping off a 21-year wrestling career. My condolences to Hickerson’s family and friends.
