Very sad to learn that Tracy Smothers passed. He was a great wrestler and an even better person.

Tracy Smothers helped so many people, it would be impossible to determine how many young wrestlers he helped over his career. This sucks so bad.

There are no words to describe how saddened I am to learn of the passing of Tracy Smothers. He was my friend and mentor for years. Last year I roomed w/ him over WM weekend, something I always enjoyed because nobody could tell stories like he could. Devestated. #RIPTracySmothers
— Shark Boy (@SharkBoy24_7) October 28, 2020
I want to write something fit for a guy like Tracy Smothers, but my heart hurts right now. He was the first name I ever worked, and he gave to me so selflessly. I'm glad I got to tell him that I loved him before he left.

There will never be another Tracy Smothers. He was the epitome of keeping pro wrestling fun. You couldn't be around him for more than two minutes without coming away with a hilarious "Tracy story" or two...or three...or four. ????

Tracy Smothers took two young kids from Canada trying to “tour” the southern United States, with $1.50 a day to spend on food, saw a dilemma we put ourselves in to try and get experience, and took us under his wing. He knew we wanted it. Because of that, and his huge heart, 1/3
— Adam (Edge) Copeland (@EdgeRatedR) October 28, 2020
he drove us to make the next town so we could eat our next meal. He found floors, couches or other talent who had spare space in their hotel rooms for us to sleep. On those drives he dispensed his knowledge. Always with a laugh and a twinkle in his eye. And we soaked it up. 2/3
— Adam (Edge) Copeland (@EdgeRatedR) October 28, 2020
He was a great man. He truly knew what paying it forward meant. I will miss him. 3/3
— Adam (Edge) Copeland (@EdgeRatedR) October 28, 2020
Shared the ring one time with Tracy Smothers. I fondly remember how kind he was to me and everyone at JAPW. He watched the whole show from the curtain before his match and his excitement grew. His love of the business was infectious. #RIPTracySmothers pic.twitter.com/EXtRnGXU2J

Another member of the wrestling community gone. RIP Tracy Smothers. Never heard a bad word about him. I toured Ireland with him in 2007 & was struck by how, even after so many years in the game, he was just so down to HAVE FUN wrestling. We’re better for having had time with him.
— Sami Zayn (@SamiZayn) October 28, 2020
If every veteran of wrestling and life were as kind, giving, and patient with rookies as Tracy was, wrestling and life would be much better places.
