WWE Hall of Famer and former NWA World champion Jack Brisco passed away earlier today at the age of 68.

PWInsider.com reports that Brisco was having health issues after a triple heart bypass several weeks ago which might have contributed to his death although nothing official has been reported yet.

Brisco held several titles during his long career with his most important one being defeating Harley Race to win the NWA title in Houston, TX., on July 20, 1973. He then lost the title to Terry Funk on December 10, 1975, which fueled the feud between him and his brother Jerry against Terry and Dory Funk Jr.

Jack, along with Jerry, were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008.
