his post on instagram is so touching i can imagine how much it meant to him sharing those fond memories of his nephew shane sounds like he was a great kid 
it's awesome to see the wrestling community coming together to show their support for charles and his family though, 30 years as a ref is no joke 
john cena's match against him at night of champions still brings back some crazy memories 
anyway, glad aleister black and renee paquette are keeping it real with charles right now 
anyway gotta give props to shane for bein such a cool dude and always tellin it like it is, even if he was just playin around with people wearin eye patches 
my thoughts r w/ charles robinson n his fam during this tough time 
it's crazy how fast life can change, you know? 28 years old, that's like, so not old at all 
anyone who knew him must be feeling lost right now. I love how his uncle is sharing all these fond memories of Shane though, it's beautiful 
. Charles Robinson has been a legend in the wrestling world for years, but this loss is still huge 
shane sounds like he was an amazing person his uncle charles is super lucky to have had him in his life 
WWE fam should def do more for mental health support it's not just about the physical toll of wrestling it's about the emotional ones too 
also sad to hear charles has been dealing with this behind the scenes he deserves all our love and sympathy 
and let's be real, WWE needs more ppl like him in that hall of fame ASAP 
so here's to you, shane... rest in peace 
WWE should def give him that hall of fame spot as a tribute to his nephew and legacy 
what a tragedy... 28 years old is way too young 
... 30 years in WWE and he's still got a job doing what he loves? I mean, I guess that's something. His nephew was super young tho, like what even is 28? 
Shane had no business being out there on his bike at night... RIP, dude. The WWE fam coming together to support him is pretty cool, but it's not like anyone knew this guy outside of the wrestling world 
. I mean, can you imagine having a cousin who was also a pirate? 
Either way, here's to Charles Robinson and his super tough nephew... may they get through this 
.
And now we're expected to just swoon over a heartfelt post from a wrestling ref? 
Give me a break. Anyway, RIP Shane 
I cant even imagine how hard this must be for him 28 yr old Shane was like a little brother to Charles and everyone who knows him he was always so full of life & energy 
. yeah, we all love a good underdog story, and it sounds like Shane was definitely one of those 
! He's definitely deserving of that WWE Hall of Fame induction one day 
he's sharing so many sweet memories of his nephew Shane, it's really heartbreaking. i'm not surprised though, Shane was known for being bold & straight-talking, just like his uncle 
I can imagine how tough it must be for him and his family... I mean, WWE fam and everyone else who knew Shane. 
I hope he's doing okay... and thanks to everyone who's sending love and support his way
