Bognar was in FMW from 1988 to 1994, where he won multiple championships, including tag title reigns with The Gladiator. He also had a brief appearance in ECW and Genichiro Tenryu’s WAR before he wound up in the WWF. He was given the fake Razor Ramon gimmick after Scott Hall went to WCW, as WWF still owned the rights to the Razor gimmick. He was paired with a fake Diesel, played by Glenn “Kane” Jacobs. The fans rejected it and it didn’t last long, with Bognar eventually leaving in 1997. He then went to NJPW and suffered a neck injury, never feeling the same after. His last match was in 1999.
411 would like to give our condolences to his family, friends and fans.
