Former WCW wrestler Emory Hale passed away earlier this evening. He had been suffering from health problems in the last few years of his life. He needed a kidney transplant in 2003. Soon after getting the kidney transplant, he developed pneumonia from it and was hospitalized again. Also, he had been hospitalized as of late, although, the reasons haven't been revealed yet as to why he was in the hospital this time around.

He was best known for having a mini-push on WCW Saturday Night in 2000 with Jimmy Hart as his manager. After he defeated his opponent, a "Hail Warning" graphic would scroll across the screen. He also wrestled one match under a mask as "The Machine" on WCW Thunder in February of 2000 and was defeated by Diamond Dallas Page. He was a big 6'6", 300 pound wrestler who was broken into the business by the brother of the late "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer, Brett Sawyer.
