Playboy Buddy Rose (Paul Perschmann), one of the most unique individuals ever to compete inside the squared circle, passed away April 28 in Portland, Ore., at the age of 56.

At this time, cause of death is known, though he told people that he had been having blood sugar issues with his diabetes.

During the 1990’s Rose returned to the WWE Formerly known as the WWF, and gained even more notoriety by humorously promoting a product known as the “Blow Away Diet.” And despite his even bigger girth of being 317 pounds at that time, Rose would correct the ring announcement of his weight, adamantly saying that he was a “slim, trim 217 lbs.”Watch the video below:
