LOC Veteran Posted January 2, 2019 Veteran Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Really sad news in the wrestling world today, as Mean Gene Okerlund passed away. I'll always associate backstage interviews (and some pretty good in ring interviews for that matter) with Mean Gene, not to mention his amazing interactions with Bobby Heenan and other WWE personalities. RIP Mean Gene Okerlund, you were one of a kind in the wrestling business and you'll always be remembered as an integral part of any wrestling show. I mean you can't have a wrestling show without Mean Gene. RIP Quote WWE is saddened to learn that WWE Hall of Famer Gene Okerlund, the most recognizable interviewer in sports-entertainment history, has passed away at age 76. In his early days, “Mean Gene”, as he was named by fellow Minnesotan, Jesse “The Body” Ventura first came to prominence by interviewing the greatest stars of the AWA, including Ventura, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan and Hulk Hogan. In 1984, Okerlund made the move to WWE where he became a staple on national cable television by continuing to interview the biggest names in sports-entertainment like Hogan, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, The Ultimate Warrior and many more. Okerlund branched out from interviewing by providing ringside commentary and hosting several shows, including All-American Wrestling, Tuesday Night Titans, Wrestling Challenge and Prime Time Wrestling. Announcing wasn’t all that Okerlund could do with a microphone, as his distinct voice sung the National Anthem at the first WrestleMania in 1985. Later that year, Okerlund would sing “Tutti Frutti” on WWE’s The Wrestling Album. In 1993, Okerlund joined WCW as lead interviewer where he continued to interview many of the legends he had worked with in the AWA and WWE as well as WCW stalwarts, Sting, Diamond Dallas Page, Goldberg and others. In 2001, Okerlund returned to WWE to call the Gimmick Battle Royal at WrestleMania 17 along with Bobby “The Brain” Heenan and continued to appear on WWE television programming, including being a cast member on WWE Network’s Legends’ House. WWE extends its condolences to Okerlund’s family, friends and fans.

MightyJordan Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) The weekend continues tonight over in America with the NWA's Pop Up Event; no live PPV this time, but it's going up on demand within a week. This is probably the most intriguing match on the card... Then it's Impact's turn in Tennessee tomorrow...

LOC Veteran Posted January 5, 2019 Veteran Share Posted January 5, 2019 Was using a cinder block in a match after that horrible match had that literal attempted murder in it in Puerto Rico a few weeks ago a smart thing to do? Probably not. Also I don't think that sentence made any sense but I'm kinda out of it right now from some medication so I'm just correcting misspelled words at this point Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/621597-the-big-wrestling-thread/page/1086/#findComment-598404369 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOC Veteran Posted January 6, 2019 Veteran Share Posted January 6, 2019 I think Cage is gonna win the title tomorrow night. Johnny Whatever's run hasn't exactly been mind blowing and Cage is way better since he's a heel. Also, I hope Sami Callihan doesn't kill Willie Mack.
