WWE is saddened to learn that “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Riverdale” star Luke Perry has passed away at age 52.

Perry was a noted fan of sports-entertainment who was frequently spotted at ringside for Los Angeles-area WWE events. He once shared the ring with The Miz on SmackDown and even appeared on an episode of The Edge & Christian Show in 2016.

The decorated actor once described watching WWE as one of the easiest ways for him to feel like a kid again.

“More than anything else, this takes me right back to my childhood,” Perry said in a WWE.com interview in 2007.
