www.f4wonline.com/daily-updates/daily-update-steve-austin-injury-okada-vs-sydal-212241Dennis Hilgart, who was one of the great wrestling promoters during the territorial era, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 77. Hilgart promoted a number of cities for Verne Gagne, most notably Milwaukee and Green Bay and later Las Vegas and San Francisco/Oakland (they used Leo Nomellini's name as the promoter but Hilgart was the real guy handling the nuts and bolts of the shows). Milwaukee from 1969 to 1975 was a huge wrestling hotbed with legitimate sellouts almost every month due to The Crusher. Hilgart also promoted in the area with WWE years later.
