We have some sad news to report as Frederick Seawright, better known as Brickhouse Brown, has passed away at the age of 57.
F4WOnline has posted an article about Brown; below is an excerpt about his life and career:
As Brickhouse Brown, he started wrestling in 1982 in Texas, bluffing his way onto a show in San Antonio by claiming he was a wrestler. Terry Funk liked him and trained him. His biggest success was in the Tennessee territory where he was a headliner that drew well against Jerry Lawler. But he never had that level of success anywhere else. He was small by that era’s standards, but a strong heel and a great talker.
He wrestled on shows in that area for most of the last 20 years until being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
He received the Cauliflower Alley courage award in April, when he came to Las Vegas and gave a speech that was said to be unbelievable with not a dry eye in the house. At the time he noted the cancer was terminal and he knew he had less than six months to live.
We at Wrestling Rumors extend our deepest condolences to the Seawright family during this difficult time.
