David Sherwin (August 5, 1950 – July 20, 2012), better known by his ring name Goldie Rogers, was a Canadian professional wrestler born in Cobourg, Ontario and died in Cobourg.[1]
Professional wrestling career
Dave Sherwin trained with Phil Watson in April 1972 and debuted later that summer.[2] He started his career wrestling under various masked gimmicks in multiple small promotions in Ontario, before heading to West Virginia and becoming the Hollywood villain persona 'Goldie Rogers'. Goldie would work in various territories including Dean Silverstone's Superstar Championship Wrestling from Washington, Al Tomko's All-Star Wrestling in Vancouver, Frank Tunney's Maple Leaf Wrestling in Toronto and in a few promotions in Canada's Maritimes. He would also wrestle in various televised enhancement matches for the World Wrestling Federation in the early to mid 80's.[3]
In the mid to late 1980's, Goldie Rogers became a fixture of Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling in Calgary, Alberta and was known for his stalling ring antics, bushy beard, colourful sunglasses, flashy ring attire and 'Listen up Jack!' catch phrase with his raspy voice. The promotion closed in December 1989, and Rogers would return to wrestling in the Maritimes, retiring in 1992. After wrestling he started up "Call-A-Cab" Taxi service in his hometown of Cobourg.[3] On October 1st, 2002 he married the love of his life Faith Forget. He died in July 2012.[1]
