Mike Awesome, one of the greatest ECW wrestlers ever, has past away. This was one big bad dude that put on some great matches. Unfortunately he will be remembered for defecting from ECW to WCW and trying to take the championship with him. I will never forget his matches with Masato Tanaka and the chair shots they gave each other. Mike Awesome could have been one of the biggest stars ever had he been given a real chance. In WCW they had no idea what to do with him (remember the fat girl gimmick?) then in WWE he never really got a fair shake. I remember going to Birmingham, AL for an ECW ppv and seeing him throw Spike Dudley into the audience with ease. My most recent memory of him was from the ECW One Night Stand ppv in 2005 where he and Tanaka got it on again in another classic. Mike had recently retired from the ring and from what I had read was enjoying life with his family. Rest in Peace big man you gave us some great memories and entertained us in new ways.
Get with fellow stars Bam Bam Bigelow, Chris Candido, Brian Pillman, and Public Enemy and take it to the EXTREME!
