The wrestling world reacts to the passing of Shad Gaspard
The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed on Wednesday that former WWE star Shad Gaspard has passed away at just 39-years-old.
On Sunday afternoon at Venice Beach, Gaspard was with his son and a group of swimmers who found themselves in deep water to the point where lifeguards had to rescue the swimmers. Gaspard told them to take his son first, which was when he was hit with the riptide and disappeared.
Gaspard’s body washed up on the beach early this morning and matched the description of Gaspard. For more on that, click here.
Here is a small sample of some of the reactions from people in the wrestling business:
