Yet ANOTHER wrestler dead

Brian "Crush" Adams passes away
Written: August 13, 2007World Wrestling Entertainment has learned that Brian Adams, also known to our fans as Crush, has been found dead today.

Known for his formidable strength, the Hawaiian native made his first impact on the U.S. wrestling scene in the late 1980s with the NWA�s Pacific Northwest organization.

When he debuted in WWE in summer of 1990, he joined Ax and Smash as the third member of the legendary tag team, Demolition. A change in the rules allowed the trio to hold the World Tag Team Championship, with any two of the three members defending the titles. The trio would lose the championships to The Hart Foundation due to interference from The Legion of Doom, sparking a fierce rivalry between them and Hawk & Animal.

After Demolition disbanded, Adams returned to WWE in summer of 1992 as the blond-haired Hawaiian powerhouse, �Kona Crush.� He thrilled our fans with his ready smile and fearsome strength. However, a rivalry with Doink the Clown � which culminated in one of the most unforgettable moments in WrestleMania history when Crush was attacked by two Doinks � changed the Hawaiian�s philosophy. He eventually fell under the guidance of Mr. Fuji and engaged in a fierce war with �Macho Man� Randy Savage, Their most memorable battle was WrestleMania X, where Savage defeated Crush in a Falls-Count-Anywhere Match.

After a short absence, attorney Clarence Mason brought Crush back to WWE in summer of 1996. Crush would join the Nation of Domination in 1997, and then formed the Disciples of Apocalypse biker gang with Chainz, Skull and 8-Ball later that year.

Early in 1998, Adams joined World Championship Wrestling and became part of the New World Order, using his own name. He later would go on to team with Bryan Clarke as KroniK and win the WCW Tag Team Championship twice. After WCW folded, KroniK would have a short-lived run in WWE in 2001, fighting with Kane & Undertaker.

After leaving WWE in late 2001, Adams competed in Japan and then attempted a career in boxing. After suffering a shoulder injury while training for first professional bout, Adams called off his boxing efforts and returned to Japan to compete.

Adams wrestled his last match in January 2003, suffering a spinal injury that forced him into retirement. Whether he was beloved or jeered, Adams made a lasting impact on WWE and he will be missed by Superstars and our fans.

yes, rodney (his real name) had a heart problem.

in this case (i mentioned it in the random thread) there's no indication yet as to what's caused it, so I won't speculate until we get some sort of indication. Another one way too young though.

I'll confess ignorance: what kind of training do these guys have to go through? What's their typical routine? How much traveling do they do each year? I have no knowledge of this sport, so I'm curious as to how hard it would be on your body, inside and out.

I'm surprised no one has even joked about conspiracies

they spend upto 300 days a year on the road, most of the time is spent either training or performing or flying. For example they did a tour a few months back that had them aroudn europe in about 2 weeks with shows most nights. A lot of people have got injured lately from the schedule, as they're lower on numbers of recognised people due to guys like the rock, stone cold etc not being around now. It makes it hard for them to have 'normal' lives and they're usually trying to earn enough money for a lifetime in a short time, plus one injury & they may never work again. Relationships aren't the best either, most of them fail, so they feel lonely. they do work hard to put on a show for people, but it has many downsides. those from the 80s and early 90s are notorious for coke & weed, i dunno about the newer ones.

Ian told me 'bout this yesterday. I remember his rivalries with Doink the Clown and Macho Man Randy Savage. He also tag-teamed with Bryan Clark (aka Adam Bomb) in WCW and that duo was known as Kronik.

Damn.

Get over it

It's pretty awful to vote Rob Turner see how often people just make jokes out of pretty tragic events.

It's almost as if the autopsy results are the punchline people are waiting for.
