Here are some reactions to White’s death from people in the wrestling industry:
Life is cruel. Betty White would have been 100 years old on January 17th. Instead she passed away on new years eve at 99. Not even allowed to see the new year. But we got decades of awesome entertainment. What a wonderful woman. Betty White. Rest comfortably.

Aw man! Betty White is one of those people that we all felt like we knew personally. Probably only the second time I’ve ever shed a tear upon learning a celeb I never knew passed away. RIP queen. Your legacy will live on forever. pic.twitter.com/6G4ln5kiOP
