Mike and I are recording right now and heard about this before WWE announced it. We are very sad to hear about the passing of Mean Gene Okerlund. He was 76 years old. We send along our deepest sympathies to his family. We will be remembering Gene on today's show.
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. https://t.co/DyPiEiVLoV
