The Cauliflower Alley Club announced on Twitter this morning that Walker passed away on Tuesday in Hawaii, where he lived.
Walker, who worked for WWE from 1984-1986 as his career was winding down, held numerous titles across the NWA, Deep South Wrestling, Championship Wrestling From Florida, Georgia Championship Wrestling, and others. He was inducted into the NWA Hall of Fame in 2012, the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2014, and the WCW Hall of Fame in 1993.

AEW announced this year’s Fyter Fest will take place over two nights on July 1 and July 8 on TNT at 8 pm ET. The card currently features AEW World Champion Jon Moxley versus Brian Cage. Also, Hangman Page and Kenny Omega will defend the AEW World Tag Team Titles against Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent).
Fyter Fest will be taped on July 1 and July 2, so the first show is live and the second will be taped, according to the latest Wrestling Observer Radio.
Dave Meltzer reported pretty much everything from now until Fyter Fest is written out, and the event itself is being booked as a PPV. Matches will run longer in length and the thought is to put together a PPV quality event on TV over a two-week period. Every title is expected to be defended.
Meltzer also speculated since AEW is only doing four actual PPVs a year, they could do these type of shows to fill in the gaps a bit.
AEW’s next PPV, All Out, takes place on September 5 with a location yet to be announced.

Former WWE stars The Revival, now known as FTR, have finally made their debuts in AEW.
It all went down following The Young Bucks and Matt Hardy defeating Private Party and Joey Janela Wednesday night on Dynamite. Butcher and the Blade attacked the Bucks after the match was over, but then an old school truck pulled up to the building with Cash Wheeler and Dax Hardwood inside.
Instead of attacking the Bucks, however, the duo went after Butcher and Blade. After fending them off, FTR once again came face-to-face with Matt and Nick Jackson.
Butcher and Blade attempted to attack FTR from behind during the standoff, but the Bucks hit them with superkicks to knock them out of the ring.
FTR and The Young Bucks then had another standoff, but Cash and Dax left without saying anything.
Watch how the segment unfolded below.

The Tyson announcement was made Wednesday night during Dynamite.
“Iron Mike” has been the topic of conversation as of late after declaring he’s “back” in an impressive new training video. The video has prompted talk of a possible return to the boxing ring.
The finals of the TNT Championship tournament – taking place May 23 live on pay-per-view – will feature Cody Rhodes facing-off against Lance Archer, with Jake “The Snake” Roberts in his corner.
“Double or Nothing” can be ordered on pay-per-view and B/R Live.
