Before he was a WWE referee and subjected to THAT humiliating suicide angle with Josh Matthews, Tim White worked as a ring technician and Andre's "handler" backstage.

This eventually resulted in him travelling with Andre from show to show, a move which Ric Flair said made it hard for him to believe that White's still alive, due to the demands of Andre's party lifestyle.

Hilariously, White even states that there was a death pool going on in the locker room for when he would drop dead from trying to keep up with Andre.

White may be looking older these days, but dammit, he's still going.
