Memphis Wrestling Star Bert Prentice Passes Away Aged 62

Thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family of Memphis wrestling star Bert Prentice today (August 4), as it was announced that he had passed away at the age of 62.

Prentice was running his USA Wrestling promotion in Tennessee as recently as yesterday. Prentice took to Facebook on Monday to announce that his sister would take over the USA Wrestling day-to-day operations so he could focus on his cancer treatment and rehabilitation.

IMPACT Wrestling posted a tribute to Prentice on their Twitter account after the news of his passing, as Prentice previously worked for the promotion co-hosting Xplosion alongside Jeremy Borash.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Bert Prentice – who was involved in the very early days of TNA and was the host of Xplosion alongside Jeremy Borash. We offer our sincere condolences to his friends and family.

Bert was a wonderful friend and a pure joy to work with. Always made me laugh. The years we worked together hosting Xplosion during the early days of TNA are great memories. My condolences to his family on this loss. https://t.co/g9v9JELdEK
