Northeast independent wrestler Paul E. Normous, who had a cameo and was mentioned by name in the first locker room scene in "The Wrestler" passed away today. We don't have any additional details regarding his passing at this time. He was only 33 years old.
A New York native, E. Normous trained out of a number of different schools including Gino Caruso and Jason Knight's after growing up a fan of the business. He often noted in interviews that growing up, his grandmother was a huge Ric Flair fan He had worked some of the early Ring of Honor shows, plus numerous indy promotions like WXW, 3PW. He had also worked an invitational training camp for Ohio Valley Wrestling when it was an official WWE developmental.
A tall, extremely muscled worker, E. Normous was billed at 6'6 so he fit the role of a huge monster worker on independent shows during an era where most wrestlers on that level are far smaller. Beyond that, he had also worked as a celebrity bodyguard, personal fitness and nutrition and had done some acting work.
Our deepest condolences to E. Normous' family and friends. We'll have more details when available.
