Below, you can see some of the reactions from those in wrestling:
I’ve not been able to get Bob Ryder off my mind today, and now to hear about Bert. Bert was a staple at the #Asylum in our early days. Rest easy Bert, and thanks for all you did for @IMPACTWRESTLING. Sending love and prayers to your family. #rip ---- https://t.co/fvhcgeKjAb

Bert was a wonderful friend and a pure joy to work with. Always made me laugh. The years we worked together hosting Xplosion during the early days of TNA are great memories. My condolences to his family on this loss. https://t.co/g9v9JELdEK

RIP Bert Prentice. Met him and worked one of his shows while I lived in Nashville for a few months around ‘02-‘03.

Lotta miles, carny PO envelopes, matches, & crazy locals in out of the way towns (especially 2008!)
Maybe the last of the old time promoters. pic.twitter.com/WpOlk3mbak

One of my favorite promoters I’ve ever worked for
Old school all the way
A good friend and great person
Always took care of me
I like so many others will miss him a lot @USACWrestling pic.twitter.com/vJ4bmnt3bx
Sad to hear of the passing of Bert Prentice. He was someone who truly loved the wrestling business.

Bert Prentice and Jody Hamilton were both guys I owe a lot to. Both helped me out a lot in my first few years in pro wrestling when they didn't have to. I'll miss you both.

I just got the horrible news that my dear friend Bert Prentice has passed away. We thought the world of each other and communicated on Facebook every week. We were working on getting him on my show but then he got sick. I heard he was doing better so this new shocks me. RIP Bert
