Pro wrestling has lost another great with the passing of Dick Steinborn at age 86. A master storyteller and a treasure trove of wrestling history, Dickie was an amazing mat technician and ring general. The ultimate good guy. pic.twitter.com/aZ0AM7vK7M

Just heard the passing of Dick Steinborn one of the most gifted wrestling performers of all time. Tremendously talented and a good guy. If I had to compare, Dickie was an earlier version of @AJStylesOrg and even had time for this rookie in my first year. RIP Mr. Steinborn.
