What did you think of Malice?
He was a pretty big deal in TNA at the very beginning, I don't know much of his work other than a bit as The Wall in WCW, but I think he had a pretty good look while in TNA and from pics I've seen of him in Japan on OWW. He looks like a legitimate bad arse.
It's sad that he died, no question, but I'd like to learn a bit about him. I don't remember him being terrifically solid in the ring, but I don't remember him being all that bad. I've read he had drug problems in WCW, did they attribute to his death years later? Was he a big part of the New Blood storyline? I know he fought Kidman in the cage match the night of Malenko/Kidman botch, and beat him.
I thought Misfits in Action was before the New Blood storyline.
This was meant to go in Rest of Wrestling, I posted it on wrong forum, could somebody move it?

I think the drugs may have had a factor in his death. He did die of a heart attack. But I never saw for sure.
He was never really apart of the New Bloods faction. He was basicly this big guy who wanted to hurt people. His biggest moment was when he I think fought Hogan on a nitro. He was booked for a while as this unstoppable monster. Having a mini feud with David Flair and Crowbar. Now this gets kinda fuse for me. I believe he went into a feud with Shane Douglas which ended in a tables match. Then I think he went to MIA for a while. Turned heel and had a match against Gen Reaction. He floated around the mid card and then WCW was over.

He sucked in WCW, but by the time he had turned up in TNA, he had picked his game up to a tremendous degree, and was a great big man.

I saw him fight Devito on an Indy (USA Pro, Mikey Whipwreck retirment show) and it was possibly the worst match I've ever seen.
