Muhammad Ali passed away earlier today at age 74. As we noted elsewhere, his immeasurable reach touched the pro wrestling world on many occassions.
The outpouring of reactions from wrestlers & performers - and the amazing photos, quotes and memories contained in them - are evidence of his influence.
Here's a sampling of those, which we'll continue to update as they pour in. Feel free to share ones you find in the comments below.
"It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am." - Muhammad Ali
