Freddie Joe Brisco (September 21, 1941 – February 1, 2010), better known as Jack Brisco, was an American professional wrestler who was popular during the 1970s, and into the 1980s. He performed for various territories of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), becoming a two-time World Heavyweight Champion, and multi-time Tag Team Champion with his brother Gerald Brisco.
In the late 1970s, the Brisco Brothers also discovered Terry Bollea, the future wrestling legend best known as Hulk Hogan, who they introduced to Hiro Matsuda for training.
In 2008, Jack and Gerald were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by John Bradshaw Layfield.
Brisco passed away on February 1, 2010, due to complications from open-heart surgery. He was 68 years old.
