That's just awful, my prayers to them in this time

[HMARK Center]

Christ, same age as me. Can't imagine what their family is going through right now, just something no family should have to experience.

[Cyno]

What a horrible thing to happen. My condolences to Arn, Brock, and the Anderson family.

[Legion]

Damn.

RIP.

Yet another tragic passing at a young age. My sincerest condolences to the Anderson family.

[Toates Madhackrviper]

Awful to see. Condolences to the Anderson family.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

I know Ric and Arn haven't always been on the best of terms but Ric has unfortunately been through this could be a helpful person to talk to during a time like this.

[Lizuka #BLM]

That's awful to hear. All the best to the family going forward.

I'd probably swerve Ric on this one and hit up Lawler or Nash. Sucks to say that but ya know.

Yeah I think Ric was salty at Arn because he never hit him up after Reid Died

Normally, I'd say maybe that'd be an opportunity for Ric to try to reach out to him as a show of trying to let the past be the past, but I don't think I'd want to wish Ric on Arn at the best of times right now, much less at potentially his lowest low.

On the latest "To Be The Man" podcast, Ric Flair said he’s recently reconnected with Arn Anderson. Flair and Anderson were very close in the 80s but their friendship got strained sometime during the WCW years and in 2021, he said that he did not hear from Arn when Reid passed away in 2013. Flair also previously said that he didn't hear from Arn during his serious health issues.

Apparently, that is all behind them and they are talking again. Flair said he talked with Arn after he lost his son Barrett.

“It’s a very personal thing with Arn," Flair said. "I know what he’s going through. Kevin Nash knows what he’s going through. Any number of people out there. I’m just being selective with the wrestling community. All the bullsh*t that we go through, there are some things in wrestling that are real and hurtful and just never seem to work out right."

Flair continued, "It’s a very tough thing to say but, I think Arn and I have reconnected. We’ve kind of gone our separate ways. It all started back with Jim Herd. He left. I came back. They left. I mean, to have that phenomenal time in the 80s and see it kind of slip away for whatever reason, quite honestly because of promoters, and then to reconnect and have a private moment and exchange texts and everything, it made me cry. I was that happy to hear back from him. Not much more I can say about that. I just hope he and I can move forward and do some stuff together.”

[Mozenrath]

Big of both of them, I'd say.

I have said harsh things about Ric Flair. I will likely always continue to do so. But, if he's given Arn some kindness and helped him handle what is quite possibly the toughest time of his life, then that's deserving of some commendation, and I appreciate his reaching out to him.
