WWE Hall of Famer ‘Bullet’ BobArmstrong passes away: “I am saddened to learn that “Bullet” Bob Armstrong, a @WWE Hall of Famer and patriarch of the legendary Armstrong wrestling family, has passed away at age 80.Equal parts strongman and showman, Armstrong,born Joseph James in Marietta, Ga., on Oct. 3, 1939, prove himself as one of the most tenacious grapplers on the planet during the territorial days of sports-entertainment. He secured his toughman reputation long before he ever set foot in the ring, thanks to his tour of duty in the U.S. Marine Corps and his seven-year tenure as a member of the Fair Oaks (later Cobb County) Fire Department.Armstrong, however, didn’t rest on his laurels when he was between the ropes. He handled himself well in the rough-and-tumble southeastern territories by employing an assortment of holds and moves, including his feared sleeper and Georgia Jawbreaker. He also possessed the gift of grappling gab, giving him the uncanny ability to wear down a rival with his words as well as with his strength.His chosen trade later became a family business, as Armstrong’s four sons — Joseph, aka Scott Armstrong, Brad, Steve and Brian, aka WWE Hall of Famer wweroaddogg @scottarmstrongwwe Jesse James — followed in their father’s footsteps. The Armstrong boys often found themselves in their dad’s corner, as “Bullet” Bob partnered with each of his sons at various points in a competitive career which spanned over 6 decades.For his part, Armstrong often credited his beloved wife, Gail, as the secret to his success. Upon being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011, the self-proclaimed “ol’ war horse” also made the case that his many triumphs likely benefited from divine intervention, too. “I think somebody up there likes me ”Armstrong said during his 2011 WWE Hall of Fame induction speech “I got to live my dream.” I want extends its condolences to Armstrong’s family, friends and fans.Remembering “Bullet” Bob Armstrong: photos look back on WWE Hall of Fame career of patriarch of the Armstrong wrestling family, @WWE Hall of Famer ‘Bullet’ Bob Armstrong #ripbulletbobarmstrong #WWE #AD #prowrestling #WRESTLING #wrestlingcommunity

Bullet Bob Armstrong was one of the giants of Southern wrestling. Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama – from the Atlanta Booking Office to Smoky Mountain – there aren’t many who had the impact he had. A fantastic promo, great in the ring, always over.

Professional wrestling lost one of its all-time greats with the passing of “Bullet” Bob Armstrong at the age of 80. Bob was a good man who stood by his principles and helped preserve the rich tradition and history of the business. He will be greatly missed but always remembered.
