Mean Gene is the voice of my childhood. RIP Mean Gene

[@martyboy-d2u]

That golden voice of wrestling 💛

[@KA-te7xk]

Gene was the best in the 80's WWF 💯👍

[@makaveli4205]

He was good in WCW too

[@TrevyTrev-andTheFunkyPets]

This is gold. Very legit, neutral view on everyone worth talking about.

[@Zoby007]

Miss Elizabeth was just so absolutely GORGEOUS

[@TonyBedalow-t8f]

Mean Gene is an absolute LEGEND!!! 💪 R.I.P. 🙏

[@FlibDokky]

I'm a simple man. I see Gene, I click

[@mikeg2491]

He really was one of the best speakers even in conversation. No stammering or forgetting things. Gets right to the point.

[@Ryenobal]

Mean Gene and Bobby Heenan were the classiest non-wrestling figures in the history of the business

[@cutekanjii]

Bobby was a wrestling figure. He was a wrestler, and he actually was pretty good in the ring back in his day. Although he said his ambitions lay outside the ring as a manager.

[@E.C.2]

Jimmy Hart.

[@DANIELGARCIA-cq3sj]

The Best in The Business. He was Disrespected Big Time When He Passed No one Showed up and Payed respect to the man . And we supposed to be his friend same on them

[@markabboud4855]

It makes me happy that Gene named Spicolli. That was so tragic, cause he was just starting to get his big break. A giant "What If?"

[@PACBLUEBELT1973]

Mean Gene was great.

[@maximus1318able]

KVE had the prototypical 90s look, everyone loved him, had the name and its a shame what happened. He could have been huge in the wwf/e

[@kerryc5821]

I love Mean Gene.

Miss Elizabeth was an adult. She made her choices. It is a tragedy, but the fault cannot be 100% on Lex.

[@NoneofYabiz-rx3zi]

Imagine thinking you could stop an adult drug addict with their own money from taking drugs. Impossible! People change when THEY ARE READY and until then nobody can stop them from doing what they want to do

[@TAC618]

I love that billy jack Haynes has a take on the savage Liz relationship.

[@boop8127]

Such a good voice

[@mcydodge919]

Confidential was an excellent show.

[@cardiffemorgan5877]

You can hear the hurt and anger when he talks about those guys that are no longer around. I think warrior said it best and he said guys curt henning and Rick rude and davey boy just never grew up and couldn’t get over the wrestling business. I look at guys like hogan and flair and look that they went through and you ask urself how the hell are those guys still alive ? It’s crazy but you can see how frustrated it is to hear your friends dying after stupid decisions they make..

[@pipepicasso8112]

Legend of de tearth, Gene Mean - Sheiky Baby

[@danc3488]

There was a span there during the early and mid-2000's where we lost a lot of great wrestlers. Thankfully, it seems as though that trend has slowed down with the exception of Bray Wyatt (though that was from COVID, not drugs). Still...you have to think that they wrestlers today remember what happened to those guys. That and the rigorous drug and medical testing they do now certainly helps.

[@ericdravenX00X]

I thought Confidential was a Perfect BTS look inside the WWF, and what better host then Mean Gene, i thought it was a good fit for him..

[@TravisBrady-wn8fr]

Hulk said Lis grew to 8 feet tall swelled to 975 brother.

[@bilders6701]

Gene was just TFM!

[@billyclub9863]

Gene was Awesome. A shame he didn't get a big turnout at his funeral. Where were the Boys?

[@J0HNJ0RDAN]

Nothing wrong with protecting your lady, maybe even beyond what she thinks is necessary... But, if you gotta keep'em locked up, you're either cracked or they ain't worth having.

[@joseaguilera6355]

That late 80s early 90s wwf road schedule was awful

[@Cuchulainn1984]

Did they ever ask about his appearances in Saturday morning cartoons?

[@Music-qt3ok]

I think wrestler deaths have gone down the past 5 years.

[@alexandru5369]

Yeah Randy was an uptight guy and all and rightfully concerned for Elizabeth but just went over the top. I'm thinking him being round up so tight had even more too do than his roid/cocaine use did remember stress is awful for your health it affects every aspect of your body

[@jaybarnes8034]

Greg Brady

[@koolkeiths]

That’s a serious charge. At minimum a F3 for kidnapping Macho man was a clown. 🤡. Let keep it real. He wasn’t a good person.

[@SeamHead33]

You're wrong

[@Beardo2517]

​@@SeamHead33 I mean all things considered he didn't sound like a great person.

[@SeamHead33]

@@Beardo2517 he did to me

[@SeamHead33]

@@Beardo2517 what are all the things you considered?

[@richardwang1739]

I don't think it's far fetched to think Lex caused Elizabeth so much mental abuse at that time that she acted out and intentionally took too many pills that night.

[@richardwang1739]

I think Vince believed that back then

[@mikeg2491]

@@richardwang1739there’s probably a reason Lex isn’t in the HOF and it’s not because he jumped over to Nitro

[@NoneofYabiz-rx3zi]

If it ain't far fetched, you must be able to back up that claims by facts. Since you can't, it's the exact opposite. A wild assumption

[@derekvietro784]

Everyone has a choice. lex did not kill her. She made her own bad decisions. His problems did not help the situation, no doubt, but she made her own decisions

[@davidstirrat8815]

First comment

[@maximus1318able]

Wow. You're the winner.

[@mikejejenich-pb5zx]

Rumor has it the macho man tested positive for blood in his cocaine system 👋

[@leonleon2276]

Lex killed Elizabeth. End of.

[@derekvietro784]

That's not true, unfair to say that. Unfortunately everyone has a choice and she made hers to get involved in drugs. She was involved in drugs before they were together. His problem didn't help her situation no doubt but he did not kill her

[@HardheadedG32]

Wrong. Liz killed herself

[@Mjones22276]

Leon your a clown

[@TheRooster1988]

Mean Gene was great.
