Adam_Bomb Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 RIP Mike.One of the best big men in the business bar none during his prime
alexander Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 (edited) See ya Mike. I'll always remember you almost killing JT Smith with a Tope. Edited February 19, 2007 by Leicester Lantern
NBT Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Man, Lantern just text me with this. We were actually talking about him in the car on the way into Orpington yesterday, incredibly lame. I'll always remember that time he almost killed that guy with that move.
Paid Members tom Posted February 19, 2007 Paid Members Posted February 19, 2007 Can't say I really saw much of his stuff, I saw highlights videos of his previous stuff with Tanaka, and his match with Tanaka at ONS 2005. So my main memory of him is the match at ONS which, apart from the main event, more or less stole the showR.I.P.
This thread scares me Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Wow.I remember seeing his series of matches with Bam bam years back and really enjoying them.damn shame
Million$Body Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 RIP Mike. I'm completely shocked by this one.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 19, 2007 Paid Members Posted February 19, 2007 holy shit another one RIP.Mike Awesome is a guy who i loved to watch, when i became obsessed with ECW around 2000/2001 i couldnt wait to get my hands on as many TV/PPV matches of his as i could. He took part in the greatest squash matches in history...and his series with Masato Tanaka, probably my favourite ever.
Paid Members JLM Posted February 19, 2007 Paid Members Posted February 19, 2007 No more Awesome vs Tanaka ever. Shit.
Paid Members Psygnosis Posted February 19, 2007 Paid Members Posted February 19, 2007 Christ this is going to be one of those dark years :(RIP Mike, I'll never forget the Tanaka feud and other classics.
The Icon Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 From Wikipedia: The Wrestling Observer reported "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."Sad news.
The Hitman Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 This sucks, I'm a massive fan of Awesome. His matches with Tanaka were amazing, and his match with Spike was brutal. I also love his forgotten match with New Jack from ECW on TNN that featured much insanity. Just like I was with Bigelow, I am really shocked and saddened by this.RIP Mike Awesome

dannyboy Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Very sad news. I really enjoyed his matches with Masato Tanaka and the other ECW matches he had. I thought he was one of the highlights at ONS2005.
Michael_3165 Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 What horrible horrible news. Whenever I think of Awesome I always look back on those amazing matches with Masato Tanaka as so many people have said on here already as well as his matches with Spike Dudley and The Great Muta. Perhaps the most talented big man in the business and a guy who will be sorely missed. Awesome will always stick out in my mind as a guy who would do anything to please the fans and someone who would always put on a decent show.R.I.P Mike... I am saddened that Awesome vs Masato will never happen one more time.Mike
