Legendary pro wrestling broadcaster Bob Caudle died on Sunday at age 95. His son Mike shared the news via The Mid-Atlantic Gateway social media page that Bob died peacefully in his sleep overnight.
Powell’s POV: Caudle started calling pro wrestling in 1950 and was the voice of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling and was with World Championship Wrestling until 1991. He went on to work as the voice of Smoky Mountain Wrestling. Caudle was preceded in death by his Jackie, his wife of 76 years, who died on April 27. My condolences to Caudle’s family, friends, and many fans.
It is with a very sad heart that I report that Bob Caudle has passed away. He was 95 years old. His son Mike wrote this morning that Bob passed away peacefully in his sleep overnight. Our thoughts, prayers, and love go out to his family. More information will be forthcoming.
