Before there was “Green Shirt Guy”, “Brock Lesnar Guy” or that weird guy who wears the referee shirt to every show, guys like Rick were there. In the last couple of years, he had been battling some health issues and wasn’t seen at the shows much. Throughout the last 25 years, he was all over the TV and known for his creative signs.
Pro wrestling fans are like family. We all have a relatable story of what made us get into this fandom. Rick was a big part of that and helped pave the way for other superfans to be in the front row. I had the pleasure of meeting him for the first time in 2015 and he was as upstanding of a human as one could be. We send our prayers to his entire circle.
