Baker (born April 19, 1934-October 20th 2014) better known professionally as Ox Baker, was an American professional wrestler and actor, and was feared for his dreaded finishing move, the Heart Punch, sometimes called the "Hurt Punch", after Baker's famous catchphrase "I love to hurt people!" He has appeared in several movies including Blood Circus and Escape from New York. He most recently hosted a DVD titled Best of the 80's Volume I: Best of Southwest Championship Wrestling. He hosted the DVD with Rock Parsons. The DVD is available at MVDEntertainment.com & seeofsound.com.

| 3 | On August 1, 1972, Baker lost to Ray Gunkel. Following the match, Gunkel died in the locker room; his death was attributed to a blood clot, which broke off from a hematoma caused by Baker, which led to a heart attack. Again, the death was worked into Baker's character, and in 1974, Baker caused a riot in Cleveland, Ohio, for continually Heart Punching an opponent after the match was finished. |
