WWE issues a statement and video on the passing of Lord Alfred Hayes
On Thursday, July 21, 2005 at 5:14 PM EST - WWE.com issued a statement today on the passing of former WWE star Lord Alfred Hayes.
"WWE lost a beloved member of its family on Wednesday when Lord Alfred Hayes passed away at the age of 76.
Hayes joined World Wrestling Entertainment in the early 1980s and soon became a television mainstay. His wit, distinctive accent and colorful insights helped make Hayes one of his time’s most remembered personalities. Hayes provided commentary for the WrestleMania 2 main event, pitting Hulk Hogan against King Kong Bundy, but he was perhaps best known as the broadcast partner on such programs as The Bobby Heenan Show and Tuesday Night Titans, alongside Vince McMahon. An accomplished wrestler himself, Hayes also managed such Superstars as WWE Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter"
WWE.com will also have a video tribute of Hayes up later on.
