WWE, AEW, and other wrestlers come together to mourn Tim Curry’s death

A few hours ago, the world lost legendary actor Tim Curry. The 80-year-old English actor died at his home in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles, California. A former heavy smoker and user of several substances, Curry also suffered several health issues throughout his life. While a cause for his death has not been shared, he had experienced multiple health issues after his stroke in 2012.

Soon after his passing, celebrities from across the world and from various professions came together to honor the legend. Tributes were paid by Carol Burnett, Lesley Ann Warren, Michael McKean, Kiefer Sutherland, Jane Seymour, Rob Schneider, Jennifer Tilly, Stephen King, Eric Idle, Hank Azaria, Lacey Chabert, Bruce Campbell, and others. Several pro-wrestlers also came together to honor his legacy. Multiple WWE, AEW, and TNA wrestlers, alongside a few indie names, also paid their tributes.

TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth paid his tribute and wrote, “King Chicken RIP.” AEW’s Willow Nightingale and WWE’s Piper Niven also paid their tribute to the legendary actor. Former WWE Superstar and current indie wrestler Shotzi also wrote, “As a horror lover, Tim Curry scared me in the best way. As a theater kid, I wanted to be Tim Curry. I wanted to play the most bizarre, larger than life roles just like him. When I applied to AMDA, I had to write a paper about the performer who inspired me most, I chose Tim Curry. RIP to an absolute legend.” Several others, including MMA veteran and actress Gina Carano, Nyla Rose, Frankie Kazarian, and others, also paid their tributes.

Rest in peace to Tim Curry. He had such a legacy of work. He worked with @ginacarano back in 2008 in live-action cutscenes for ‘Command & Conquer Red Alert 3’ which went on to sale millions of copies worldwide on various gaming consoles. Home Alone was a standout.
