Trevor Murdoch recently took to Facebook to let fans know how Vince McMahon and WWE took care of Race during his final days.
I just wanted to put this out there. Harley needed to be transferred from Atlanta to St.Louis. He needed to take a Med flight because he was in rough shape. Medicare wouldn’t help him. A call was made to WWE and 10 mins later it was paid in full. Vince McMahon never blinked an eye. He wanted to make sure Harley was taken care of.
Thank you Vince, you gave me 2 more days with Harley.
#ThankYouWWE

RIP, Harley.
