Dude made BMX huge. And an suspected suicide? Crazy.

Why'd you say it like that

RIP

He was featured heavily on that indie ECW documentary, dude was in horrible shape looked like he was on the verge of death.

Also made me lose all respect for Paul Heyman, dude truly gave no shyts about his roster who was killing themselves for him

personal choices.. RVD is alive and chubby, Taz, Raven, Lance, Shane, etc. Alot of these other dudes had no actual wrestling talent so they had to carve each other up to get over

I wouldnt have recognized him if he was standing face to face with me and said "guess which 90s wrestler I am"

RIP...44 is way too young.

Former ECW wrestler Axl Rotten was found dead Thursday outside of a McDonalds in Baltimore … this according to his mother — who tells Pro Wrestling Sheet an overdose is suspected.


Axl’s mother Maria Leydig says an autopsy is scheduled for Friday to determine the cause of death, but she believes “Brian lost his battle with his demon.”

Early reports indicated the 44 year-old wrestler died of an overdose inside of a motel room, but we’re told that’s not accurate. Axl was found dead in his car outside of the fast food chain.

One source says cops told family/friends Axl went into cardiac arrest, but no drugs or paraphernalia were found in the vehicle. Same goes for the McDonalds bathroom. There was a nearby motel as well, but no room was booked under his name.

Might as well make it an appreciation thread

Side note, there are STILL a ton of white dudes who dress exactly like these guys was dressed 20 years ago.

The way them dudes were living in ecw and just in general in the 90s era of wrestling(the raw physicality, drinking, drunks) I'm not surprised, but nonetheless r.i.p.
