Mike Halac, the former WWE wrestler known as “Mantaur” who during his 1990s heyday took on a minotaur persona by wearing a huge bull head as he entered the ring, died yesterday in Florida. He was 55.
His death was confirmed by WWE (known as WWF during Halac’s era).
“WWE is saddened to learn that Mike Halac, better known to WWE fans as Mantaur, has passed away,” the company said in a statement. “Halac’s combination of size and charisma immediately captivated fans worldwide as he took to the ring in a giant bull head to highlight his half-man, half-minotaur persona.
“Halac spent time in both WWE and ECW where he faced some of the biggest stars of his generation like Bam Bam Bigelow, Razor Ramon, and Bret Hart,” WWE continued. “WWE extends its condolences to Mike Halac’s family, friends and fans.”
Halac’s death was first disclosed in a private Facebook post by his daughter Demi, who wrote only that he died peacefully in his sleep last night. Earlier in the day, Halac posted on social media that he had fallen and injured his back.
Halac began his professional wrestling career in the early 1990s in various circuits and under various names and personae – “Bruiser Mastino” was one – but his greatest success came in 1995 when he debuted the “Mantaur” character with the World Wrestling Federation. As part of his act, Mantaur would enter an arena and the ring wearing a horned bull’s head and then, after removing the mask, mooing and charging at his opponents as if they were matadors.
Although relatively short-lived – Halac’s Mantaur run with WWE last just a year – the character would prove his most memorable, and Halac, who also went under the ring name Tank, would occasionally return to the half-man/half-beast character for

Carrot Top says he was on the same American Airlines plane as a woman who caused a flight delay after she went on a tirade about wanting to get off a plane because of a "not real" passenger. "Some woman lost her marbles," the comedian, whose real name is Scott Thompson, said in one of three Instagram videos he posted about the now-viral incident, explaining he and the other passengers had been forced to deplane the Dallas to Orlando, Florida, flight before it took off. Thompson said the unidentified woman was "screaming at the top of her lungs like, ‘F--- this, f--- this! You guys are doomed! Get me off this f---ing plane!’ So, we’re off the plane. She got her wish." He added that the passengers had to wait at the gate while officials swept "the plane to see if there’s anything." "I was going to see the fireworks in Orlando just in time but now this f---ing lunatic lady lost her mind, so we’re going nowhere," he said. He added in the caption, "Omg! I’ve seen this stuff on tv but NEVER experienced it!!! We all are now f---ed because this lady lost her marbles… stay tuned! Hope we takeoff." In a second video, the 58-year-old comedian showed a clip of the woman’s viral tirade in which she yelled while standing in the aisle of the plane: "I’m telling you, I’m getting the f--- off and there’s a reason why I’m getting the f--- off and everyone can either believe it or they cannot believe it." She continued: "I don’t give two f---s, but I am telling you right now – that motherf---er back there is not real," she added, gesturing to the back of the plane.
