WWE včera na svém webu oznámila, že bývalý dlouholetý rozhodčí Tim White zemřel ve věku 68 let.
Více než dvě desetiletí pracoval Tim White jako rozhodčí a později v zákulisí WWE. Svou slavnou kariéru začal v roce 1985.
Během svého působení byl rozhodčím některých z největších zápasů WWE, včetně Hell in a Cell zápasu mezi Undertakerem a Mankindem na placené akci King of the Ring v roce 1998.
Opakované zranění ramene ukončilo jeho kariéru v ringu, ale White stále zůstal součástí WWE, kde až do roku 2009 pracoval v zákulisí jako agent.
Čest jeho památce!

I spent some time with Tim White doing Comic-Cons and other signings. He always brought a smile to everyone around, made us all happier just cause he was around. Gonna miss him. 💔

Saddened to hear about both Dave Hebner and Tim White. Both incredible men I was privileged to spend time with in and out of the ring.

My thoughts are with their families.
I lit up every time I saw this man! Tim White often was the man tasked with shepherding us at appearances and conventions the last several years. He was always extraordinarily kind and warm. I will miss you, my friend. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. pic.twitter.com/fZm0Fq1sRj

Sad to hear the news about Tim White. He was a total gent and a great laugh to hang out with. I knew I was guaranteed a fun day whenever he’d escort me on any WWE appearances.
