Not every legend within the world of professional wrestling needed to be a part of big companies such as the WWE, AEW, WCW, Impact Wrestling, or New Japan, with the medium losing one of its oldest competitors with the recent announcement of the passing of Jody “The Assassin” Hamilton. Passing at the age of 82, Hamilton made a name for himself as a part of the Masked Assassins, a tag team that was a part of Georgia Championship Wrestling, which existed long before the arrival of World Wrestling Entertainment which became the biggest company in the world of professional wrestling.
