Harley Race, who was considered by many to be one of the toughest, most innovative wrestlers of all time, has died.
The sad news was announced via the
WWE Hall of Famer's official
Twitter page:
Today at 12:50, we lost the man that fought up until the very last of his existence. More information will be released soon, but just know that he loved pro-wrestling and the fans that loved him. Harley Race, we love you.
Race was hospitalized last month ahead of Knoxville Fanboy Expo., but no details on his condition were released. It's still not clear what led to his death, but we'll update as soon as we know more.
Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to Harley's friends and family.
