Former ECW, FMW, WCW, and WWE star Mike Awsome committed suicide at the age of 42. Truly a shame to ever see anyone take their own life. Awesome was the exception to the rule as he was a tall muscular wrestler who could fly around like a cruiser weight. His matches against Onita, Hayabusa, and Masato Tanaka were phenomenal. He was so friggin agile for his size. It is a shame what WCW did to his character and I was astounded WWE didn't see much in him and released him. If you remember Awesome was the first Alliance member to hold WWE Gold during the WCW-ECW Invasion when he pinned Rhyno for the Hardcore Title and then poof. They did nothing with him. His match against Masato Tanaka at the first ECW One Night Stand PPV stole the show, and unfortunately his career as well. He blew out his knee in that match and it was his last wrestling appearance. www.wrestlingobserver.com/wo/news/headlines/default.asp?aID=18705www.youtube.com/watch?v=94xoyOPz5ygwww.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdn2AqVuxVA&mode=related&search=

i agree with you 100%, he was a great performer who was vastly underutilized.
