Certain talent will seek certain agents for advice, but EVERYONE sought out Lanza’s. The sweetest man but incredibly tough & 100% dedicated to making us better. Jack often didn’t tell you what you wanted to hear, but ALWAYS told you what you needed. I’ll miss you dearly my friend https://t.co/rSZwcvXCOa

Wow, just heard of the passing of Jack Lanza.
Total man through and through!!
Worked with Jack a lot in WWE, but, 1st worked with Jack in the brief time the Birds were in the AWA.
Enjoyed working with Jack in both places.
He was one of the few that understood the Birds!!!

I’m very saddened to hear of the passing of Jack “Blackjack” Lanza. Jack was a great Pro in his time, top rate producer, kind, incredibly knowledgeable,helpful and wise in his advise to me for many years. My deepest condolences to his family.

Jack Lanza was the lead road agent when my brother & I first started full time with @WWE. Jack treated us great & taught us so much about working & surviving on the road. Saddened to hear about Jack’s passing. My thoughts go out to his family & loved ones.

Very sad news, BJ Lanza was a great man to share the ring with, but even better man to work with backstage and be road brothers with for so many years. RipJack # awowachipisalcho https://t.co/IXpHjpFHgT

Brother Jack, always told me when he was champ that Lanza was his favorite opponent. Blackjack would just laugh when we would tell someone that story https://t.co/JNc0G24baV

Oh man, this sucks. I have a couple really funny Lanza stories, as I’m sure anyone who knew him does. I enjoyed working and learning from Jack. He wasn’t always pleasant in his delivery 🤣 🤣 but I damn sure appreciated his honesty. #RIPJackLanza https://t.co/oHlI2ZA4XU
