Obviously known for his outstanding film and television career, Reynolds suffered a cardiac arrest, and died at the age of 82 on Thursday, according to his agent Todd Eisner.
Reynolds appeared at WrestleMania X back in 1994, including a backstage segment with eventual WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels. He also posed for a couple of photo ops over the years with wrestlers John Cena, Ric Flair, Eric Bischoff and Mick Foley.
Some of you may remember the 2005 remake of Reynold’s 1970s classic “The Longest Yard.” Reynolds would also appear in the re-make, which featured Bill Goldberg, Bob Sapp, Kevin Nash, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin and The Great Khali.
Our condolences go out to the friends, family and fans of Burt Reynolds.
