Proper_Bo Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 RIP Mike... Even when he was saddled with shit gimmicks in WCW he was still a great performer also he was the first guy from the In vasion to hold a WWF titleHe'll be missed
mickfan Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Loved his ECW run. Thought he and ironically Bam Bam where the two guys who got over as monsters/killers. Even his WCW stuff was great in a Wrestlecrappy sort of way i.e. His morph from the Career Killer into the Fat Chick Thriller or That 70's Guy. I think Million$Body is possibly right. Maybe he struggled to find the high he got from wrestling in his day-to-day life. Always liked Awesome and suicide is such a tragic way to go.
steve rayson Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Just like his name Mike was an Awesome big man.RIP Mike
Ghost of a Bullet Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 He was indeed an Awesome big man, I loved his ECW runRIP.
bwo Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Watched his shoot video the other day, and he did really come across as a really nice guy, only bashing Vampiro, DDP, Luger, Heyman and Russo. Even then he still said Russo was a nice enough guy, just punished him with lame gimmicks for being Hogan's friend.Does suck that 2 out of the 3 most agile big man ever have gone this year. As someone said earlier, lets hope Vader doesn't make it a clean sweep. RIP Big Man
Stylin_and_Profilin Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Been on a night out earlier and decided - maybe due to feeling nostalgic with a beverage or two - to fire on the GAC match with Spike again. Just echoing further sentiments but this really sucks a hell of a lot.
TwiZtiDk1D Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Damn, didnt expect that at all!! R.I.P Mike Awesome
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 22, 2007 Paid Members Posted February 22, 2007 I'll always remember his WCW. I didn't mind his 70s Guy gimmick at all. Thought he was a good worker too.It was good that he left that match at ONS 2005 as our final memory.RIP Mike.
Joe_the_Lion Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Its a Mike Awesome Dead world. Â Real shame, Awesome should have been a mega-star but unfortunately it just wasn't quite to be.

Its pretty creepy, hearing Joey shout that he hopes Awesome lands on his head and dies.Was he mentioned at all on ECW this week? Anyone know what day ECW is shown late over here? (I dont think ive watched it since week 4).

(I dont think ive watched it since week 4).This weeks show was dedicated to Mike Awesome. It's funny how ONS he was made to look like a monster who ripped ECW off but since he died, people are feeling sorry for him. I bet Joey Styles and Paul E was emotional when they heard about this.

(I dont think ive watched it since week 4).Before I even knew the full story (i.e. Awesome was owed a ton of money from ECW) I always thought Styles was overly harsh at the first One Night Stand. It was as if he was the first person to jump to another company for more money.He went to WCW for financial security, and he did the admirable thing and dropped the title - what more could you ask from him?

He states that he would have been happy to drop the title cleanly in a proper hard hitting match, if ECW had let him, to Rhino as he was the only guy he trusted to not try to injure him.
gribbo2001 Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Russo wanted him to show up with the belt. Awesome didnt wanna do it. Heyman's father arranged a court injunction to prevent it happening
