Veteran Florida wrestler Frankie “Francisco” Ciatso passed away at the age of 48.
Ciatso was known as “The Shotcaller,” “The Supreme Facheem,” “The Southeast Gangster,” “The King of the Southeast” and the “Journeyman” which was the name of a 2019 documentary based on his story. He was known to work in NWA-TNA, FIP, NWA, WWNLive, and many other promotions.
The news was broken by Florida-based fan/promoter Barry Rose: “We’d like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Francisco Ciatso, who passed away overnight. Frankie was a part of two CWF Legends Fanfests as he proudly presented the movie based on his life, Journeyman. RIP, champ,” wrote Rose on Facebook.
His wife, Stormie Lee, thanked everyone for their support on Facebook, along with a collage:
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has reached out so far today. To say this is all overwhelming is an understatement. Needless to say, my heart is absolutely broken. Rest In Peace Mi Amor ♡ I WILL MISS YOU MORE THANN WORDS COULD SAY ♡
