Done. #RIPTracySmothers

[Scott D'Amore @ScottDAmore]

If you have enjoyed wrestling in the past 20 years there is a good chance that the talent you watched learned many a lessons from Tracy Smothers. So few were so giving with their time and knowledge.
It’s time we pay back folks.

RIP Tracy Smothers. He was so much fun to be around. He was an influence to so many people that he traveled the roads with. What a performer he was. He could turn a crowd in seconds, and loved doing it. He will be missed.

Just waking up to the awful news about Road Warrior Animal passing away. He and his partner Hawk were one of top box office attractions of all time. I bet they are getting a Road Warrior Pop in Heaven. #RIPAnimal

[Chris Jericho @IAmJericho]

Sad to hear of the passing of #BulletBobArmstrong...a true man’s man in this sport of thieves. When I broke my arm in #SMW in 94, Bob was one of the ONLY ones to call & check on me. I also learned the art of cutting a promo from him. Rest well Bullet! @WWEArmstrong @WWERoadDogg

[Bob Ryder @brydertna]

My thoughts are with the entire Armstrong family tonight. Bob Armstrong was not just a legend, he was one of the nicest and most decent person I've met in the wrestling business. All my best wishes to @WWERoadDogg @WWEArmstrong and the rest of the family.

Had been away from the computer for a few hours and just saw the news that Mr Wrestling II has passed away. He was a Giant in the industry. His run with Georgia Championship Wrestling was amazing. It's hard to even put into words how big a star he was. #RIPMrWrestlingII

[Bob Ryder @brydertna]

I never met @Shadbeast but we had mutual friends and I'v always heard what a great guy he was. It's a horrible tragedy that he wasn't able to make it out of the water, but he died a hero as he made sure his son was saved. Pure love. #RIPShadGaspard

I'm saddened but angered at the news about the death of Hana Kimura. Reports are that online bullying may have been involved. That's just wrong. Can't we be better than that? If you need to talk to someone the Suicide Prevention Hotline is 1-800-273-8255. #RIPHanaKimura

To everyone who got released, keep your chin up and be proud of all you have accomplished. You are all part of a big family that transcends promotions. Everybody in every promotion is hoping you all land on your feet. Be safe, and hope to see you all on TV again soon. BR

[Bob Ryder @brydertna]

My thoughts are with everyone who was involved in the releases today by @WWE . A lot of good people found out today that they were released or furlowed. I've reached to some of them to see how they are doing.

[Bob Ryder @brydertna]

The video that @WWEMaverick was really tough to watch. I know how much this business means to him. Then I watched the @therealec3 video and was wondering if there was a Hair vs Hair match against Spud that hadn't aired yet. We can only hope!

[Bob Ryder @brydertna]

Some of best memories of my time with WCW was listening to Gene Okerlund tell stories at the bar after shows. He was one of a kind and will be missed. #RIPMeanGene

[Bob Ryder @brydertna]

Very sad to hear of the passing of Jim Neidhart. Sending condolences and thoughts to @NatbyNature and @TJWilson and the entire Neidhart family. #RIPAnvil

[Trevor Lee @TrevorLeePro]

I dont like to ask for anything but some people made this for us because the Funeral home needs the money before we can bury him. And none of us were ready for this if you can help Thank you. https://t.co/47JWqEJOJU

[Bob Ryder @brydertna]

Very sad to hear the news that Vader has passed away. He was without doubt one of the best super-heavyweights of all time. Enjoyed our conversations when he worked with @IMPACTWRESTLING. He would have loved the fact that he's trending! RIP @itsvadertime

[Bob Ryder @brydertna]

Sad to hear the news about Bruno Sammartino. Truly one of the all time greats. I had the pleasure of interviewing him for Prodigy in 1996. The transcript of that interview can be read here: https://t.co/LaUMf9VQGb

[Bob Ryder @brydertna]

Here's hoping for another 25 years! https://t.co/o3ZPXk1XQk

#InternetFriendsDay

Gosh - I've made friends via the internet since 1991(and quite a few enemies).

Can say that @LDAngeli @DavePrazak and @brydertna are the first three friends I ever made via Prodigy online. And here we are over 25 years later.

[Bob Ryder @brydertna]

@FMGii Yes, had one in 2012. Still on maintenance program and dealing with side effects, but Myeloma is somewhat under control. Blood clots have been worst of side effects.

[Bob Ryder @brydertna]

After a not so fun 6 nights in the hospital treating multiple blood clots in both lungs, I am now back home. Clots were side effect of cancer meds. 7 years since diagnosis and still hanging in there. Thanks to those who sent kind words and well wishes.

[Bob Ryder @brydertna]

Couldn't be prouder of my friend @jeremyborash for all he has accomplished over the years and wish him the absolute best as he moves to @wwe to continue his career.
