After rumours that Gerald Brisco had passed away after suffering a mild stroke recently, Jim Ross has confirmed the rumor is not true:

"Just talked to Jerry Brisco and he is ALIVE and doing well."

Diamond Dallas Page believed the rumor to be true as he posted a message online in remembrance of the legendary wrestler.

DDP wrote: "Gerald Brisco was a Great Wrestler! A Great TV character but most of a Great Man! And he will be Extremely missed! RIP Brother!"

He later posted: "Just found out Gerry is Alive and well! Thank God! Damn some times I hate the twitter thing."
