Long before him, Nick's father, Warren, was also a major draw in Arizona, appearing regularly at the Phoenix Madison Square Garden.
Nick also appeared as a hated heel during his limited Arizona appearances.
Bockwinkel was especially known for his arrogance in interviews and speaking skills before the camera.
Few fans or wrestlers recall ever seeing him in a bad match. Over the years, he had some classic battles with Verne Gagne, Crusher, Bruiser, Curt Hennig and others.
A formidable wrestler with an abundance of character strengths, he was one of the key figures of the 1970s and 1980s.
He will be missed.
