#3 “Iron” Mike DiBiase

Mike DiBiase

Before Mike Tyson, there was another “Iron” Mike – Mike DiBiase. The father of WWE Hall Of Famer Ted DiBiase was a legend in his own right. His most famous match was his 1 hour 44 minute Texas Deathmatch with Dory Funk Sr.

DiBiase suffered from a heart attack during a match against Man Mountain Mike in Lubbock, Texas in 1969. Harley Race recognized that DiBiase had just had a heart attack and attempted to perform CPR but DiBiase was pronounced dead at the hospital.
