Jeff Gaylord, Frequent Jeff Jarrett Tag Partner And Sid Vicious Sidekick, Dead At 64
Joey Gaylord has announced that his brother, former pro wrestler Jeff Gaylord, has passed away at the age of 64 after "a short illness," via Slam Wrestling. Gaylord wrestled from 1985 until the mid-90s, competing in his final match in 1998, and has since recently helped his church in Denver with outreach work.
Gaylord spent much of his in-ring career competing for the USWA — where he was able to win tag team gold on three separate occasions. Two of those three reigns were with the USWA Southern Tag Team Championship, coming alongside WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett, who he teamed with from March 1990 until May of the same year. His third and final reign came when he and Mike Anthony held the USWA Tag Team Championship in 1993 for a week. Gaylord also formed a partnership with former WWE Champion Sid Vicious, and eventually took on Vicious for the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship, coming up unsuccessful twice. Following his wrestling career, Gaylord fell on hard times, and was ultimately arrested for robbing or attempting to rob multiple banks.
