WWE Hall Of Famer Pete Rose Passes Away – Pete Rose, legendary baseball figure and WWE Hall of Famer, has passed away at the age of 83. The news was first reported by TMZ Sports, with Rose’s agent, Ryan Fiterman of Fiterman Sports, stating, “The family is asking for privacy at this time.”
Rose’s incredible legacy as one of the greatest hitters in MLB history is undisputed. He remains the all-time leader in hits with 4,256, a record that continues to stand as a testament to his extraordinary career. Over his 24 seasons in Major League Baseball, Rose earned a staggering 17 All-Star appearances, won three World Series championships, and claimed the National League MVP in 1973. He officially retired from the game in 1986.
In 1989, Rose was banned from baseball after the league’s investigation revealed he had bet on games, a scandal that shadowed his post-playing days. He later admitted to betting as both a player and manager for the Cincinnati Reds in his 2004 autobiography.
Beyond the baseball diamond, Rose also left his mark in the world of professional wrestling. He made memorable appearances at WrestleMania 14 and WrestleMania 15, where he was famously tombstoned by Kane at both events. Rose returned as a guest host on WWE Raw in March 2010, solidifying his relationship with the wrestling world. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame’s Celebrity Wing in 2004, recognizing his contributions and iconic appearances.
Our deepest condolences go out to Rose’s family, friends, and fans as they remember the life and career of one of sports’ most controversial and celebrated figures.
