What a legend. An absolute icon of 80s and 90s wrestling.

One of my faves. He got a bit repetitive over the years but the guy loved the business and did a great job selling it.

RIP Gene!

Very sad to hear.

Rest in peace Mean Gene.
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

"Roy 365 days, seven days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game."
