Scott Irwin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scott Irwin was a professional wrestler and the brother of Bill Irwin.

Scott K. Irwin started wrestling in the American Wrestling Association in 1975 after being trained by Verne Gagne. He was one half of the "Yukon Lumberjacks" in the World Wide Wrestling Federation in the late 1970's as Yukon Eric and captured the World Tag Team Titles while there.

Scott was eventually joined by his brother, Bill Irwin, and they became a dominant heel tag team. They wrestled as "The Long Riders" in the AWA and the NWA's Jim Crockett Promotions and wore masks as the "Super Destroyers" in World Class Championship Wrestling, where they were managed by Skandor Akbar.

They were wrestling in Canada in the AWA when Scott was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He died on September 5, 1987.
