    A great one. Loved wrestling back in the day, and he was brilliant at what he did.

    Damn... I loved that guy. One more time in remembrance of how all his interviews started...

    "Well I'll TELL YA MEAN GENE!!"

    He was a legend.

    I haven't watched pro wrestling since I was 12.
    Dale Thomas, the storied wrestling coach at Oregon State, once challenged any pro wrestler to wrestle him, who weighed 200 lbs, to a wrestling match using college rules.
