— Darren Young posted the following on Twitter, showing that former WWE performer and trainer Dr. Tom Prichard was backstage at SmackDown this week…

It was so awesome for everyone to see our friend and teacher @DrTomPrichard Dr. Tom Prichard in #Knoxville #Tennessee last night. I've never seen so many @wwe superstars surround a man and trade funny stories back and forth. To us, Doc has always been more than a coach, he was our teacher. Doc was always fair but firm when he needed to be and would never beat you down in a malicious or hateful way. As early as 2003, I remember doing tryouts with Doc, and he would always tell me to be patient. He has helped me as well as many others who you see on TV today with advice and some of the best analogies about what it takes to make it. "How bad do you want it?" Doc uttered those words all the time in training. Many WWE Superstars on TV trained at FCW in Tampa and wore "Wants It" t-shirts at one point. The thing I love about Doc is that he admits he isn't perfect and he's made some bad choices in the past. He taught us not to make those same mistakes. I can go on and on about how awesome of a person he is but I'll wrap it up here and say thank you, Doc, for everything! See you again! #sharekindness
