My first weekend there I got to wrestle Tracy Smothers, ever since that day Tracy made an effort to keep up with me, my career and even my family. He was always encouraging and had advice for me. This story is not an isolated incident, as you read everyone’s Tracy story today you'll realize he did this with everyone he met. I really hate that he is gone. I'm going to miss him a lot. One of the most genuine people I've ever had the opportunity to learn from. RIP. 2024-07-01 . Instagram . en.
