Tom Zenk, former star in the AWA, WWF, and WCW, has passed away at the age of 59. Zenk never made it to super-stardom, but he was a solid mid-card worker in the 80s and 90s.

In JCP/WCW, Zenk was a 1-time NWA US Tag Team Chapmpion with Brian Pilman, a World Television Champion, a World 6-man Tag Team Champion (with Dustin Rhodes and Big Josh), and among other titles, he was the WON Rookie Of The Year in 1984 (tied with Jushin “Thunder” Liger).

Bill Apter made the official announcement earlier today.

We also found his obituary in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
