I never met Okerlund, but saw him many times. Two times which stand out:
1- Him introducing the Gobbletygooker at "WWE Survivor Series" in Hartford. That was Thanksgiving 1990.
2- My brother giving him the finger off camera at a "WWE Wrestling Challenge" TV taping in Springfield, MA. That was in November 1991.

he will be missed dearly in pro wrestling, whether it was his interviewing the talent, the times he lost it and went to laughing fits when Dr. Dave Schultz wanted a "woahman", the one time a sign fell and he was in the middle of a interview with Ravishing Rick Rude and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and he said f*** it or antytime Ric Flair said "Mean woo by god Gene" during in ring interviews on Nitro in 1998-1999, there will never be another Mean Gene Okerlund.
the Heavenly Wrestling Federation just got a big name announcer to add to the heaven wrestling territory, RIP Mean Gene.
