bummed out

父親の年代には懐かしいプロレスラーだったようです。日本ではビル・ロビンソンと呼ばれていました。

Catch wrestling legend Billy Robinson has died at the age of 74.

Robinson is believed to have died peacefully in his sleep. He was found on Monday morning, although a cause of death is currently unknown. Robinson was living in Little Rock, Ark., where he taught classes at Westside Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

“He loved the spotlight. In his life with all the things he’s seen he was a real rock star. I tried to reach him over the last few days, and he didn’t answer,” Westside owner Matt Hamilton told Sherdog.com. “I thought I’d see him when he taught his class on Friday. When he didn’t show up, it didn’t make me wonder because it’s not that uncommon. Needless to say, everyone here is bummed out. We’ll miss coach and his personality. I’ll remember him as a great character.”
