Saddened by the passing of beloved competitor Tracy Smothers, Edge, Ricochet, Erich Bischoff and others around the WWE Universe have begun to leave their tributes to Smothers on social media.
Tracy Smothers took two young kids from Canada trying to “tour” the southern United States, with $1.50 a day to spend on food, saw a dilemma we put ourselves in to try and get experience, and took us under his wing. He knew we wanted it. Because of that, and his huge heart, 1/3

he drove us to make the next town so we could eat our next meal. He found floors, couches or other talent who had spare space in their hotel rooms for us to sleep. On those drives he dispensed his knowledge. Always with a laugh and a twinkle in his eye. And we soaked it up. 2/3

He was a great man. He truly knew what paying it forward meant. I will miss him. 3/3

I just heard the news about Tracy Smothers. In my early years as a wrestler myself and @SexyChuckieT got to spend a lot of time with Tracy. He always knew how to put a smile on peoples faces.
Rest In Power my friend.
You will be missed. ❤️

Sorry to hear about the passing of Tracy Smothers. I saw him last about a year ago. He was so happy in the ring. He was a good man. RIP Tracy.

At the end of every single interaction I ever had with Tracy Smothers, I left with a smile on my face. Without exception. We lost a good one today.
Godspeed, Tracy, and echoing the voices of countless brothers and sisters:
THANK YOU.
Rest well, my friend. 🙏

This really sucks.
Tracy Smothers was the man, plain and simple.
I wish I had had the chance to be around him a lot more.
My thoughts go out to his friends and family.

I remember giving Tracy a bottle of ‘Absinthe’ as a gift to take back to America & he was convinced I’d given him a bottle of ‘abscess’
