Thank you Harley. So many legends in the industry will tell you he was the toughest to ever do it. He never stopped giving. I remember when he managed Vader in wcw, he would still try and scare me backstage. Ten pounds of gold never looked better on anybody. https://t.co/Q1qq4qEeGT

My Father learned from many but he always said he had two real mentors in the business. Harley Race was one of them. Harley was one of the greatest to ever lace them. Thank you for what you’ve done for this business and thank you for everything you’ve done for my Family. pic.twitter.com/Zpm4FAQWtR

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. This is why we should not throw the term Legend around freely. It needs to be saved for people like Harley who truly are.

Godspeed, Harley Race. When I wore the “ten pounds of gold”, in my head I was you. Of course I could never hold a candle to you, but your example inspired me to try my damndest. I’m grateful for the time we shared, and I thank you forever for paving the way. Rest well, King. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/Yf3lr4lnJk

I had the honor of sitting next to Harley for an entire flight from the U.S. to Japan in 1984. We talked the entire way there comparing life notes and experiences. He was a real gentleman…and had more people waiting for him at the airport than I did! #RIPHarleyRace
