Remembering the life and career of “Mean” Gene Okerlund, who passed away last week at the age of 76. Tony Schiavone called him the greatest stick man in wrestling history. It’s hard to argue otherwise. Discussing his greatest moments, why he left WWE for WCW and Hulk Hogan paying tribute to him on Raw this week.

MEEEEAAAANNNN WOOOOO! GENE!!! R.I.P.
I don't know if they do this anymore but I hope the wwe do the 10 bell salute on Raw
Dude was the best, one of a damn kind. You wont find a dude better than him. Thank you Jesse for that name for Okerlund. I wished I could had called Mean Gene's hotline back in the day, but my mom would had a fit!! Lol. One love, RIP my man!!
Well let me tell you something brother. Hulk Hogan talking to mean gene okerlund.
I remember when Hogan was the 3rd man for the NWO….Mean Gene sold his disgust for Hogan very well, he was so disappointed that he became a heel! Thank you Gene for all the memories! RIP
And what interviewers do we have today? Dasha-bot…and people who just ask one stupid question about how they feel, where they proceed to stare dead-eyed at them before the wrestler walks off and the camera slowly zooms in on them.
A natural talent with the ability to connect with the audience whilst having a great chemistry with the talent. As you said, no-one will ever come close. RIP Mean Gene 🎤 ❤
Fuck it!!!!! – Mean Gene interviewing Rick Rude
Truly it was a sad day. It was eerie for me as well Solomonster, watched the Andre The Giant HBO documentary, on New Year's Day, with Gene of course in it.
