Referee Charles Robinson is one of WWE’s most well-known personalities, having worked for the company for over two decades. However, in truly devastating personal news, he has revealed on Instagram that his life has been rocked following the death of his beloved nephew Shane, who was killed while riding his bike. And while Robinson chose not to go into detail, clearly greatly affected by this senseless loss, the 19-year-old’s online obituary links to an autism charity, which is accepting donations in his name.
61-year-old Robinson broke into the business in 1995, initially as a photographer before becoming a referee. From there, he would get an opportunity to ref a dark match between Kendall Windham and Chris Adams for WCW, and a few months later, he was signed full-time. Subsequently, he also became an on-air character, working as a heel referee, and famously suffered a collapsed lung after Randy Savage landed badly on him when performing an elbow drop. Still, while it was feared that his career could be in jeopardy after Vince McMahon purchased his rivals, Robinson not only had his contract picked up but actually ended up becoming one of the most well-known refs in the business.
