I loved listening to the Don West show in the car it came on while I was driving home every day from work. Honestly some of his phrases like “never flip another man’s meet”.

I was thinking about my limited time with Don and what I remember most about him and probably made the biggest impact on me was that he was unabashedly himself. Whether you loved him or not, agreed with him or not, you know he was being genuine to himself and what he thought was right. He inspired people and was a magnet. He drew people to him. Don was awesome.

I was so sorry to hear about Don's passing. He was such a charismatic and lovely person. He was the voice of Impact! He could sell a bag to a cow he was a great salesman. He was a fantastic entertainer. Much love and my thoughts to his family and friends.

Dear Terri and Family,
There are only a handful of knowledgeable folks in the wrestling business. Don was in that handful. One of the most thoughtful, kind, generous men I have ever had the pleasure to talk with, watch, and pleasure to know. He was always down to earth and well respected. My deepest and sincerest sympathy goes out to you and your family. One thing I regret. I only wish he could have hung around longer for more of us to see how very unique he really was.

Don West was the person that announced that I could meet Jeff Hardy, AJ styles, and Samoa Joe for free. Jeff is my favorite wrestler and I was starstruck thanks again. RIP Don West. 🙏

My first memories of Don are growing up watching him sell sports cards on Shop At Home every single night with my best friend. When I say every night, I mean every night. I was so happy when he was immortalized on SNL. Fast forward to 2002, when I recognized him as the voice of a new wrestling promotion called TNA. I was instantly drawn because of him. His voice was so infectious. He made everything sound important and exciting. His style of calling matches is pretty much the blueprint for what companies look for on commentary these days. In TNA, Don became a legend and it would become my favorite wrestling promotion. I didn’t know Don, but he’s responsible for so many smiles throughout my life. I can only hope that during his journey, he had a bunch of people bring joy to his life the same way he brought it to mine. God Bless you, Don. Thank You for everything. Rest in Paradise. Sending strength to his lovely wife Terri, as well as the rest of his family and friends.
