It’s been 6 years since we had to say goodbye to Mean Gene Okerlund, a true legend. I always enjoyed being interviewed by Mean Gene, he was the best! He had an amazing personality and a great sense of humor. I was blessed to see him shortly before he passed. RIP pic.twitter.com/vV68r5eUJR

The voice of the WWF/WWE "Mean" Gene Okerlund passed away on this date in 2019 at the age of 76. He was one of the voices of my childhood in the '80s. #80s #RIPMeanGene pic.twitter.com/t4DaYa0Hc8

Mean Gene Okerlund passed away Jan 2, 2019 at age 76. The Golden Era of WWF wouldn't have been the same without the personality & voice provided by Mean Gene. Along with Hulk & Heenan, Gene was a key ingredient who made the jump from AWA to WWF

In my humble opinion, Mean Gene was the absolute best interviewer in wrestling.
