Jim Cornette paid tribute to the late great Dennis Condrey on the latest Jim Cornette Experience. 
​
Cornette said Condrey fell in a hallway and was found by a neighbor. "He was cognizant of what was happening, but by the time the ambulance got there, he was paralyzed from the chest down."
​
Cornette said after decades of bumps, two cancer battles, and surgeries that included the removal of his voice box, Condrey's neck may not have been able to absorb even a routine fall. "People are going to say, what the f**k? Dennis Condrey took bumps for 50 years, he trips in the hall and breaks his neck. But you got to think, not only the years of bumps, but also two cancer battles and multiple surgeries. Who knows what kind of shape his neck was in."
​
His wife Teresa was nine days from retiring so they could spend more time together.
​
Cornette called Condrey "seamless" in the ring. "Everything looks like he's hitting you as hard as he can. He never touches you. Out of all those hundreds and hundreds of matches, they never knocked anybody out. There were no injuries."
​
Cornette said the tributes from across the industry confirmed Condrey's place in history. "When Ric Flair or Arn Anderson and the Hardys say Bobby Eaton and Dennis Condrey were the best heel tag team in the business and we learned from them, they're not just making that up."
​
He closed by saying: "The wrestlers you like learned how to do something from this guy. Nobody works like Dennis Condrey in the business these days and hasn't ever."
​
Dax Harwood of FTR set up a GoFundMe for Teresa Condrey at gofundme.com/f/in-memory-of-dennis-condrey
