Yet another wrestler has passed away. This time, it is the former WWE wrestler Andrew Martin, known during his time in WWE as Test. He was found dead in his Florida apartment on 13/3/2009, just 4 days from what would have been his 34th birthday. The cause of death is yet undetermined (suspected overdose).
Another one gone at such a young age. More's the shame. The giant, 6 ft 6 in, Canadian-born, Andrew Martin retired from wrestling in December 2007. Prior to that, he wrestled with WWE & then TNA. He held a few titles whilst in WWF/WWE , both at singles/solo & tag-team level. He was once bodyguard for the band Motley Crue, back in 1998. I still remember Test's first appearance in WWF back in December 1998 (complete with a pony-tail), when he assisted the Rock during his match with Triple H by attacking the latter. He would continue with WWF/WWE until 2004, leaving in 2005 before then returned to WWE in 2006, & then leaving again in 2007 to join TNA, before his retirement at the end of 2007. I have never heard a bad word being said about him. Maybe he wasn't the greatest wrestler around, but he still had something to give to the wrestling industry. Sadly, he is no longer around. RIP Andrew Martin.
