Former WWE Announcer Lord Alfred Hayes Passes Away At Age 77
Date Added: July 21, 2005
Former WWE announcer and long time on-air talent for the company during the Hulkamania era "Lord" Alfred Hayes passed away this past Wednesday at age 77.
Hayes was also a pro wrestler himself, gaining a lot of attention in the 60s and 70s as a top heel. He began working for WWE in 1982 under Vince McMahon Jr. as his single British voice of the company.
For the last number of years, Hayes had been living on his own in Dallas, Texas. Our condolences go out to the family and friends of Alfred Hayes.

WWE lost a beloved member of its family on Wednesday when Lord Alfred Hayes passed away at the age of 76.
Hayes joined World Wrestling Entertainment in the early 1980s and soon became a television mainstay. His wit, distinctive accent and colorful insights helped make Hayes one of his time’s most remembered personalities. Hayes provided commentary for the WrestleMania 2 main event, pitting Hulk Hogan against King Kong Bundy, but he was perhaps best known as the broadcast partner on such programs as The Bobby Heenan Show and Tuesday Night Titans, alongside Vince McMahon. An accomplished wrestler himself, Hayes also managed such Superstars as WWE Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter.
His voice, which graces countless video releases and matches, has become synonymous with 1980s WWE, and his contributions were integral to the company’s success during that time.
"His Lordship" will be greatly missed.

I remember Lord Alfred Hayes on Prime Time Wrestling around 1991-1992 before Raw debuted in 1993. He served as a commentator along with former WWE announcer Sean Mooney at the Madison Square Garden matches taped for Monday Nights on Prime Time on USA network. He also served as primary announcer for the series of WWE Videos that were released around the late 80s and early 90s. He was also featured on the Sunday Morning USA Network show All-American Wrestling. I think he left the WWE around 1992 when the WWE began to focus on Monday Night Raw LIVE instead of taped matches.
