28 years ago today, at King of the Ring:
"Good gawd almighty! Good gawd almighty! They've killed him! As god is my witness, he is broken in half!" - @JRsBBQ
One of the most iconic WWE moments, both in action and commentary
Gonna miss Kenny Klein so much. Hard to really explain the impact he had on so many but was just so genuine, always had a smile, always wanted to help. I was young and breaking into the industry and he was so helpful to me - and I was one of so many that he would take the time.
I honestly can’t believe he’s gone. Prayers to his family, Rick Pitino, his other friends and everyone who got to know him.
There will never, ever be another Kenny Klein. Gonna miss you, man - and I’ll have a beer for you tomorrow.
In 45 years of covering sports, in of covering college athletics, I've dealt with so many wonderful publicists with pro teams, national teams and primarily college sports programs.
Kenny Klein was the MJ, the TB12, the Messi.
You know this because I'm not the only one saying it.
Competition for my favorite Kenny Klein story is fierce.
I'll probably go with the time I said throughout the summer I would hold him personally accountable if my seat wasn't red for the Notre Dame opener in 2019, and then showed up to a red trashbag on my seat for the game.
We are devastated at the passing of our dear friend Kenny Klein. He will always be synonymous with Louisville, beloved locally and revered nationally.
Our hearts are with the entire Klein family and everyone whose life was better because he was in it.
Kenny Klein was, and will always be, a Cardinal Forever.
