Terrible news to report as the voice of World Class Championship Wrestling Bill Mercer has died at the age of 99.

Mercer was around pro wrestling for many decades but is perhaps best remembered as the mainstay voice of WCCW in their hottest period of the mid 1980's calling almost all of the Von Erich and Freebird matches amongst others.

We never interviewed Mr. Mercer. We should have tried harder. But, we knew he was a little older and did not imagine he'd want to hear from the likes of us. We may have been correct. Who knows? But, we certainly mourn his passing. Our condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.
