Former WWE and ECW Star, Salvatore Bellomo, has passed away at the age of 67 after losing his battle with cancer, according to a cousin of Bellomo's wife who initially broke the news.

Bellomo debuted in 1974 and over his career worked for NWA, WWE (1983-1987), and ECW (1993-1994). During his time in WWE, he would lose clean to Bobby "The Brain" Heenan in a match at MSG. For ECW, he wrestled in the first-ever ECW Championship match, losing to Jimmy Snuka. Bellomo would retire from wrestling in 2006.

We send our condolences to the friends and family of Salvatore Bellomo.
