There aren’t enough words to thank you for all your unselfish help, guidance,knowledge and most of all friendship you’ve given to me. When I was at my lowest point of my life 21 years ago you were constantly there for me. Thank you my friend.x

This is sad news. Gerry when I sat by you at the world championships in 2015 I’ll never forget the convos we had! You said most importantly be yourself and always smile! I’ve always said how awesome you were to be around. Hope you run into you at some point. https://t.co/shOIREZt18

I’m very sorry to learn that Gerald Brisco is no longer with @WWE
He is a great man who has been a tremendous asset to the company for 36 years. I loved working with him.
Hang in there @Fgbrisco – many of us think the world of you. https://t.co/bdX6fC9iXD

Simply put, @Fgbrisco changed my life.
Many will say the same, and I believe it. I call him my wrestling “Dad” because that’s how he treats me. And he never had to.
My gratitude is unending, and in fact it grows as I do. You’re a HOFer in every sense of the word, Dad! — https://t.co/ynDy4fGrE6

Wouldn’t be where I am today without @Fgbrisco
I and many others, particularly in the amateur wrestling circle, have him to thank for our opportunity in @WWE
He’s a great man with a great legacy.
Thank you Mr. Brisco https://t.co/oTKYUVJgCf

Quick Gerry Brisco story after today’s news.
Him and Pat were unannounced guests at the first Starrcast. They were tucked away in the back corner of the basement on the last day, and were only there for a few hours, most attendees probably missed them
