Jeremy Borash reflects on his relationship with Don West.
Sadly, the wrestling world recently suffered a great loss as Don West passed away following his battle with lymphoma at the age of 59. Mostly known as the color commentator for TNA Wrestling, Don West spent many years working alongside fellow broadcasters Mike Tenay and Jeremy Borash.
Borash, who now works for WWE, recently took to social media to reflect on his relationship with Don West, echoing the sentiments of many, remembering Don as a caring man who had a vibrant personality.
Don West loved to reference a fictional man he knew named Sam Levitas. Anytime someone in conversation would brag about an accomplishment, he would casually mention, as serious as can be, that his friend Levitas had done something similar, but better and more impressive. If you hit a 500-foot home run, Levitas once hit a 502-footer blindfolded and hungover. Levitas one-upped everyone, and DW knew exactly when to drop it in. Don was one of the funniest people I have ever met, and was an absolute sweetheart of a human being even Sam Levitas couldn’t top. There will never be another! RIP my friend.
Even though he never worked for WWE, Don West was even mentioned on the December 30th episode of Friday Night SmackDown by Michael Cole.
