Such sad news to wake up to this Sunday morning. Knew this day would come, but Bob lived a good life that he shared for so many years with millions of wrestling fans. He was the first wrestling voice I heard 61 years ago. We will miss you Bob. “So long for now” my dear friend.

So sorry to hear about the death of Bob Caudle. He was the voice of Carolinas wrestling and later SMW and he did his job well. More important, he was by all accounts a good man and a great husband.

Every Saturday afternoon it was Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling and the voice of Bob Caudle for me.
In every sport, announcers are the frame around the art, and he was one of the best.
