IMPACT Wrestling commentator Don West has died aged 59.

The veteran broadcaster, who was a huge presence in TNA from 2002 to 2012, was diagnosed with brain lymphoma in the summer of 2021 and has been undergoing treatment.

His former co-commentator Mike Tenay revealed the news after hearing from Don’s widow Terri, and revealed his longtime friend and colleague would be ‘spending New Years in heaven’.

He tweeted: ‘Just heard from wife Terri that our brother @DonWestDeals will be spending New Years in heaven. Terri said D-Dub finally had to tap out from his match with lymphoma.

‘We bonded as soon as we met, both as broadcast partners and friends. Years of great moments both on and off camera’.
