[Breaking News] Mike Awesome Passes Away
LegendsChampionshipWrestling.com was saddened to learn today that former ECW World Champion Mike Awesome, 42, has passed away.
According to reports, Awesome was found dead on Saturday morning in the Tampa Area. Friends were coming to his home in Tampa to pick him up and go out Saturday night at about 10:30 p.m. and he never answered the door and found him hanging in the home. It is believed the death was due to suicide pending results of the autopsy.
In addition to working in the U.S., he also worked for FMW in Japan. He will probably be most remembered as the ECW champion that signed with WCW when he still held the title.
Tazz was brought in by ECW to take the title from him, as he jumped to WCW. Awesome announced his retirement from wrestling in early 2006.
LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway said in a statement released earlier today, "He defiantly would have been a part of Legends Championship Wrestling."
