    I remember that guy.. See ya pal.

    76 is decent long life, can't complain to much about that. Ideally you do wanna make 80 though with as few aches and pains as possible and a mind that hasn't turned to mush..

    My favorite Mean Gene moments were the faces he’d make while trying to figure out wtf the Warrior was talking about

    My brother was out one night.... went to a strip club in Detroit. Gene Okerlund was at the strip club... this was back around 1991-1992. My brother said it appeared that Gene was a natural at the club. lol He must of spent a lot of time at strip clubs while traveling through major cities?

    I've never seen a photo or video of a "young looking" Mean Gene. It's like the guy spent his entire life looking 50 years old. RIP to the legend.

    Okerlund is a self professed partier. He knew how to party with the best of them, especially in that era where wrestlers abused the shit outta alcohol, pills and drugs
