Both Leo Garibaldi - a former wrestler and respected booker in the Atlanta, Carolina, Florida, and California territories during the 1960s and 1970s - as well as Penny Banner - a legend in women’s wrestling - passed away yesterday. Garibaldi - who is credited for discovering star power in Roddy Piper - was seventy-eight years old, while Banner died at seventy-three.

Slam Wrestling! Producer Greg Oliver has written two excellent career retrospectives on Garibaldi and Banner, both of which can be found at the following links:
