This one's pretty shocking. Always liked him. He never got a fair shake in WWE due to his size.

He was 40 years old. That’s like 70 in wrestling years though

Speculation is suicide because he was super close to ol’ boy who recently died who also worked in AEW which made him fall into a depression, but that has not been confirmed.

He was a great talent, always fun to watch. Hate he never got a fair shake in WWE.

I don’t remember seeing him on the list of people who got injured last night that Tony Khan listed out but I almost wonder if he didn’t unknowingly rupture something, have something happen to create a blood clot, or something of that nature.

Suicide seems like the most likely cause. Roid use may have caught up with him too. Dude had a bodybuilder physique at like 5'5 or whatever

Is it? Dude was 40 and has been yoked out of his mind on steroids for like a decade.
Brian Cage joked about how their piss would melt the plastic if they were ever drug tested in AEW.

The man that gravity forgot

Thought that was a cool tag line for him

But yeah... pretty stunning that he was on a PPV last night & now he's gone

Been a real rough patch for AEW lately with Rebel's ALS diagnosis, Butcher's death, & now PAC

Andrade believed in The Bastard

Apparently some people were finding out about PAC's death AT the Celebration of Life for Andy "The Butcher" Williams

Also... Lance Archer & Marina Shafir worked a match just moments after finding out about it

Pretty abrupt, and sad news for wrestling fans. He never had any problems with WWE wellness that I recall, so this could have been just an out of the blue cardiac condition? Haven't seen much of his matches honestly since he joined AEW, which is pretty much the beginning of AEW but he had seemed healthy and pretty much wrestling at a high level, like OP said he was in a heavily promoted spot and just on their PPV from Chicago over the weekend.

My son and I got to meet him after Raw in New Orleans when he was with WWE. He was the only one to walk over and talk to fans outside the Smoothie King Arena. Really high character guy.
