RIP "Mean" Gene Okerlund

[True Dough]

I realize it's a bit of a stretch to include pro wrasslin in the sports forum, but we don't have a "sports entertainment forum."

Anyway, Mean Gene was an icon with WWF/WWE/WCW for several decades.

He was 76.

'Mean' Gene Okerlund Injured In Bad Fall Last Month, Led to Death

1/3/2019 9:43 AM PST

"Mean" Gene Okerlund was seriously injured during a nasty fall back in December ... triggering a rapid decline in his health that ultimately led to his death, his son tells TMZ Sports.

We spoke with Todd Okerlund who says Okerlund suffered multiple broken ribs during the fall at his Florida home and was treated at a hospital in Sarasota.

Todd says Okerlund had been in frail health for a while but the fall clearly made things much worse.

Just 4 days before his death, Gene was admitted to a nursing home .... but he began to have trouble breathing and was rushed to a hospital on Wednesday where he ultimately passed away with his wife, Jeanne, by his side.
