Niners Fan in CT Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Rest in peace to him, wow. 44 is just way too young. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Sad, he had just tweeted this morning. Crazy that he was just 44. RIP Axl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac_Fu Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 I really hope we find out it's not suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Hadn't he cleaned up and lost a lot of weight over the last couple of years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Wouldn't be surprised if it was suicide unfortunately since the pain he was living with was unbearable supposedly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I grew up in the same part of Baltimore and always saw him around long before he became a wrestler, some chubby kid working at the video store always wearing wrestling shirts. It sucks to see somebody you saw around the neighborhood and obviously wanted to be a wrestler from childhood die so young. I wish the guy would have had more success and not given so much for so little return, wrestling a style that, in the end, only benefited Heyman. Rest in peace.

Ryan Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I never saw much of him and don't recall him being all that good, but no one should have to go through all the drug problems and whatever else he went through. He was in a wheelchair as far as last I read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Apparently he was found in the McDonalds across from the motel he had been staying in. That screams heart attack more than anything else. Whether that or an overdose, I guess we'll find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoychers Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 He looked in terrible health in the documentary below but by all accounts, his life seemed to be back on an upward trajectory. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Wow, Axl Rotten, Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire, and Dave Mirra all gone within 24 hours of each other. it does indeed happen in threes. The evil of 2015 is bleeding over into 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Axl had a rough life after ECW, and from I understand there were points where he really could have gone at anytime. But like Brian said last I heard he was doing better all things considered. Really hope it wasn't an overdose. But considering what he went through I'd imagine he's at peace now. RIP, Axl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 What an awful way to go; OD in a McDonald's bathroom. Addiction is the fucking devil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 He couldn't shoot up in his own hotel room across the street; instead he had to go to the Mickey D's head? Jesus fucking christ. I knew he was a junkie but man. That just screams "I can't wait to cross the street with the gear I just bought out back of the restaurant".

I knew he was a junkie but man. That just screams "I can't wait to cross the street with the gear I just bought out back of the restaurant". That's the way it is. As soon as you get it, you want to do it. When I would buy coke, I was usually blowing lines right after in the Dunkin' Donuts next to my dealer's apartment complex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hell, you could've just keyed up in a dark corner of the complex. Or tried to find the laundry room. See, now that's junkie thought process right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, now that's junkie thought process right there. Too risky; gotta have a locking bathroom and a stable surface like the top of the toilet tank or that silver platform next to the sink and bathroom mirror that really doesn't seem to serve much other purpose than to bump lines from.

Pete Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I remember one of the ECW shows at the Elk's Lodge in Queens where Axl showed up wearing the Wrestlemania "HEAT" cap from whatever year they ran with that slogan. As a proud ECW mutant I'd been conditioned to hate all things E, so I sarcastically said something along the lines of "nice hat, Axl" as he bopped by. Axl didn't miss a beat. "Hey, that's the name of the game." Well played sir, and Godspeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojomellon Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Doing coke is a lot easier than fixing up heroin to shoot. Fast food bathroom is a pretty common place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
