I can't believe he is dead. He was my hero when I was little. I know he had bad health and all, but it's so weird to think he died when he was only 76. He was a really funny person in his old interveiws, and he seemed like he would be really fun to be around in real life. I'm kinda sad I never got to meet him though. He was a great man, and he will be missed by all the people who knew him as a wrestler, and all the people who (like me) knew him as Mario.
