No no no no no...
Another wrestling death today in the shape of Brian Adams, better known to WWF fans as Crush, one third of Demolition.

Gutted, again. He was another of my beloved "Warlord-esque" squash specialists.
Man, wrestlers are dropping like flies this year.

I was initially sceptical about Crush when he joined Demolition, my then-favourite tag team.
I thought Ax and Smash needed a third member like I need a bag on my hip, but over time he became awesome. Specially when he teamed with Adam Bomb and became Kronik.
Sure they blew in WWE, but who cares, I marked for him.

In the immortal words of Doom #2 - DAMN!

[Woo]

Ffs not another death. Something's got to be done now or in 10 years time there will be threads like this made about the current superstars in the WWE who are on drugs, which is probably 99% of them.

I didn't watch wrestling in the WWE back when Crush in it, though from what I've seen he was a pretty big name coming third in the 95 Royal Rumble and lasting a long time in the rumble the year before. I will remember him for having the worst finisher of all time "Oh no, Crush is 'crushing' his head!!!"

R.I.P Crush.

Agreed. Has anyone heard anything on the news? I haven't. Which is kinda sad, but goes to show you how popular Benoit was, and how quick the media was to jump on the bandwagon. But then again- his situation qualifies for a totally different ending.

I do remember Crush when he first appeared, he was huge. Then eventually with LOD. Ah well.

RIP Crush.

Eh? I don't remember him ever being in the Legion Of Doom...
I do remember he was part of D.O.A. though, with Skull, 8-Ball and Chains.

Yeah, he was in the DOA and the Nation in 97 too. But I especially marked for him in Demolition, he added a extra dimension to an already great tag team (shame he wasn't around for the feud with The Powers Of Pain hey MB?)

His feud with Evil Doink was fun for me 2, seeing an evil clown in my early years was pretty cool!

I enjoyed Kronik's work in WCW, but after the infamous shambles of a match at Unforgiven 2001 it was obvious they wouldn't last! Taker's frustration in that match was hillarious!!!

And was only 43? Wow, this hasn't been a good year for wrestling at all....
