Former NWA World Champion and WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race has passed away. The pro wrestling legend was 76-years-old.

Race had been diagnosed with lung cancer earlier this year and was hospitalized for more than one week due to health issues in mid-July. He was scheduled to travel to Knoxville, TN for a fan convention at the time. He would later cancel all upcoming bookings. 

We send our thoughts and prayers to the Race family at this difficult time.
