Pro Wrestling World Reacts To Regis Philbin’s Passing

We are very sad to learn of the passing of Regis Philbin who passed away today at the age of 88-years-old. He died of natural causes.

Philbin was a pioneer and was a part of a few pro wrestling moments through the years as well. His memory will live on through countless hours of morning talk show hilarity and the way he could work a microphone to display his trademark personality.

Chris Van Vliet put it very well when he said that it is impossible to be a part of the television industry and not be influenced by Regis Philbin in some way.

It’s impossible to work in the television industry and not be inspired by Regis Philbin. RIP to an absolute legend and one of the very best to ever do it
