Mike Awesome Passed Away.
Mike Awesome passes away
WWE is saddened by news of the passing of Mike Alfonso, better known to wrestling fans as Mike Awesome. He was 42. Mike Awesome's first major exposure came overseas, where he became one of the Japan's top stars. Awesome would eventually become a star and champion in America while wrestling for Extreme Championship Wrestling. Following his successful run in ECW, Awesome spent time working in WCW and later WWE before retiring to his native Tampa, Florida. While in ECW, Awesome was a two-time World Champion and Tag Team Champion. His matches with Masato Tanaka, including a show-stealer at One Night Stand in 2005 were among the most memorable in ECW history. - wwe.com __________________

Very sad news. RIP Mike Awesome.
It's just sad nowadays that wrestlers don't make it to the age of 40..or even 50. (Eddie, Bam Bam and now Mike Awesome.) __________________

I've been reading up some sites, Awesome was found hanged. Apparent suicide. All the more tragic. Makes me think of other wrestlers who have committed suicide like "The Texas Tornado" Kerry Von Erich.
