The announce who was big during the 80's has passed away. Mean gene okerlund  passed away at the age of 76. My thoughts go out his family and friends

Yeh...MG played the part very well.I dont watch wrestling hardly anymore,but did watch it more so in the 70s,80 and 90s when MG was announcing and doing interviews.

I was sad to hear of Mean Gene's passing. I just met him barely over a month ago and he looked to be in great shape. I heard he fell down and didn't recover from that.

Yes sad he was one of the greats when my now deceased husband was alive and watched wrestling.  He loved watching wrestling and now like many of the older actors a lot of them have passed.  Prayers for comfort and peace for his fans, friends and family.
