He was great. That era seemed better for wrestling than now. I am old now and that may play a part but still, they had a lot of great characters in the game including the announcers.

Mean! WOOOO! Gene! Rest in peace, thanks for the moments and memories.

And let me tell you something, brother!
They don't make em like they used to, or if they do, they aren't getting hired these days.
All the (WWE/WWF) backstage interviewers and ring announcers are getting replaced by good looking people. Nothing against good looking people, but 90% of em aren't memorable at all, more like interview-bots with little or no personality. Then again, most of the promos are written for the wrestlers, too, so we don't get that good chemistry and/or back & forth like, say Hogan and Gene had. Good old days, mang.. I mean, BROTHER!
