Ricky Morton on the death of Bill Dundee

Posted: Sep 7th 2026 By: Ricky Morton - Facebook.com/TheBabyfaceRickyMorton

Losing Bill Dundee hurts in a way that’s hard to explain. Bill wasn’t just somebody I wrestled with. He was somebody I spent countless miles with, countless nights in the car with, and somebody who helped shape me into the professional wrestler I became.

We spent lots of time on the road together. Those long drives, the conversations, the wrestling, the laughs, and even the hard times are memories I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. I was young, hungry, and trying to figure out this business, and Bill taught me things you couldn’t learn from a book. He taught me how to work, how to think, how to conduct myself, and most importantly, how to become a professional.

Bill had a way of teaching you without always realizing he was teaching you. You watched him. You listened to him. You learned from him. I took so much from those years together, and a piece of the wrestler I became will always belong to Bill Dundee.

Wrestling has given me some of the greatest memories of my life, but it has also taken away a lot of people I loved along the way. Today, I’m thinking about the miles we traveled, the stories we shared, and the brotherhood that came from being in this crazy business together.

Thank you, Bill. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for teaching me. Thank you for all those miles and all those memories.

Rest easy, Superstar.
