Tracy Smothers

Tracy Smothers is the kind of wrestler I respect more the longer I think about him. He never became a household name on the level of the era's top draws, but he turned up everywhere that mattered, WCW, WWF, Smoky Mountain, ECW, and earned a reputation as a dependable hand who could make any match work. To me that journeyman versatility is its own kind of greatness. A Tennessee kid who grafted for decades and was clearly loved by the gritty regional crowds, he embodies the unglamorous backbone of pro wrestling. His passing in 2020 felt like losing a quiet pillar of the business.
