Like Bognar, Kane was a man tasked with filling the role of a fake character during the mid-1990s. He was the fake Diesel in the much-maligned storyline. Kane respected Bognar for the work that he did both in the ring and following his retirement.
While there were many fellow wrestlers that mourned the loss of Bognar on Sunday, they were certainly not the only ones. WWE referees also weighed in to pay tribute to the man that spent a year with the company before heading to NJPW.
Bognar was known for his time as the Fake Razor Ramon in the WWE, which is actually how many came to know his name. Interestingly enough, this gig has a unique backstory that was revealed by wrestler Brian Heffron.
The Canadian-born Rick Bognar was known for his time in both WWE and New Japan Pro Wrestling. As it turns out, he was a trendsetter for wrestlers from the Calgary area. Paul Lazenby explained the impact that Bognar made on the sport when he paid tribute to the late wrestler on Saturday night.
With the news of Rick Bognar, social media was filled with tributes and memories of his time in both WWE and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Some mentioned watching Bognar perform during his career while others posted photos form their interactions with the former professional wrestler.
One of the prominent figures that paid tribute to Rick Bognar was Chris Jericho. The former professional wrestler and musician posted multiple photos of him and Bognar while discussing their long history together in the ring.
Obviously, Rick Bognar was best known for his time as the Fake Razor Ramon, but some of his fellow wrestlers would prefer if that was not his calling card. Instead, they want Bognar to be known for his time as Big Titan, as well as his motivational speaking career following his wrestling career.
