Twitter Give A Tribute To The Legendary Mean Gene Okerlund Who Passed Away Today
Just heard Mean Gene Okerlund has passed away. As an interviewer, pitch man, announcer, or host, he was untouchable. Simply the best. Total professional with quick wit, sarcasm, humor, and that golden voice.
Condolences to his friends and family.— Steve Austin (@steveaustinBSR) January 2, 2019
So sad today to hear of the sudden passing of my dear friend @TheGeneOkerlund

It’s so true that our tomorrow’s are never guaranteed.

I consider a good “pro-wrestler” somebody who can cover all the elements…from cameras to commentary. Gene Okerlund was a MASTER of knowing and executing everything he did so as to make the story clear for us. He put a voice to many of our childhoods. He will be sorely missed. pic.twitter.com/YmKr1bqyd8
