Got to go see wrastlin' at the old St Paul Civic once. Had a friend's dad who was a huge fan. As stupid as it seems years later, can't help but smile thinking of all the nutso craziness wrastlin' was and Mean Gene was always in the middle of it. Met The Clawmaster when I was still pretty young and he was one of the nicest guys ever to a couple kids who just bumped into him. Was kinda the light bulb flickering moment that maybe it wasn't real. Just maybe, still not 100% sure though.

RIP Mean Gene.

"I'm a tellin' ya Mean Gene, I pitty da fool who messes with the JYD." I am sure Northern Minnesota is in a state of mourning over the loss of the legend, Mean Gene.

Dammit!! His reaction was heartfelt when Hulk Hogan switched sides to the NWO.

Mean Gene's ability to keep a straight face was legendary. Rest in peace.
