Francois Miquet, who wrestled in the 50s, 60s and 70s as Corisica Joe, with tag team partner Corsica Jean, passed away this morning in Nashville at the age of 90. He was believed to be one of the oldest still living pro wrestlers in the country.
Miquet had been married to pro wrestler Sara Lee of Nashville, who passed away in 2008, for 43 years. Lee appeared many times on TNA PPV shows out of Nashville as the old lady in the ticket booth who did some vignettes as kind of their version of Mae Young. Corsica Joe did appear as her husband.
