RIP Sweet Daddy Siki
 

Some of you may remember him if you watched wrestling in the late '50s and early '60s. He became a musician later in life playing the guitar. https://slamwrestling.net/index.php/...ki-dead-at-91/

Oh sad!

Sweet Daddy Siki was my very favourite wrestler in the early 1960's when wrestling cards were regularly scheduled at the old London Arena:

Whipper Billy Watson, Taro Sakuro, Johnny Valentine, Dick "The Bulldog" Brower, Killer Kowalski and Yukon Eric were other semi-regular features at the London Arena in those days.

:(

He used to host a Karaoke night for years at the old Duke Tavern down near the Toronto beaches where I used to live. Great guy and one of a kind! RIP

I've been to the Duke for his karaoke:

I live about four miles in a straight line to the northeast.

:)

I wonder if his name was a tribute to Battling Siki?
