Another iconic figure in the history of wrestling has sadly departed. One of the greatest announcers and interviewers of all time. I’m sure he’s now sat behind heaven’s announcer’s table with Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon, calling matches and interviewing legends from years gone by.

Rest in peace, Mean Gene!

I have many fond childhood memories of Mean Gene.

Sad to hear this. Not too many left from that era.

I sure hated to hear that! 🙁 he was without a doubt one of the greatest of all time in his craft. No telling how many wrestlers he hand walked through their interviews/promos in his long iconic career. RIP Mean Gene, you will forever be missed.

Another part of my childhood gone. With Heenan and Gorilla gone as well, this really is the end of an era.

Sleep well, Mean Gene, thanks for the memories.

Cheers, everybody,

Why is it all the good people in the WWE seem to be dying off when the trash (cough)VINCE(cough) seems to keep on living?
