Several wrestling talents have reacted to the death of 8-time NWA Worlds Champion Harley Race:
I wrote this in April of 2017 after reconnecting with Harley at an NXT show in Missouri.
I am incredibly grateful for our time together.
Thank you, Boss.

We lost a true ledend today; one of the toughest men and one of the greatest champions our sport has ever known. I loved working with him, I loved talking with him. I was proud to be his friend. pic.twitter.com/1W103AZt67— Mick Foley (@RealMickFoley) August 1, 2019
On January 25th 1993 in met a great man who became a great friend and mentor. A proper man in and out of the ring. One of the true greats. Harley Race passed today. I will be forever grateful for the time I’ve spent with him.

RIP Harley Race. In a day and age where real men seem to be an endangered species, he embodied every bit of the word “real” in and out of the ring. A rough, tough man and a gentleman. Honored to have known him. Godspeed. #RIPHarley

A few years ago I was fortunate to coach at the @8XNWAChampion camp.
Harley wasn’t feeling good , but then there was this short window of where he was the Harley that the old school wrestlers talked about. It was amazing being under his learning tree.
Rest well Mr. Race. pic.twitter.com/jlXyT0buIV
