WWE Hall of Famer "Baron" Mikel Scicluna passed away yesterday at the age of 80 following a battle with liver cancer. He was a former WWWF United States Tag Team Champion and WWWF World Tag Team Champion and in 1996 was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by another Hall of Famer, Gorilla Monsoon. Born in Malta, Scicluna eventually moved away from the tiny Mediterranean island and was residing in Pittsburgh, PA. In the late sixties and early seventies he was a challenger for the WWWF title going against Bruno Sammartino and Pedro Morales. He retired from in-ring wrestling in 1984.
