One of those guys that always seemed like he was ready to be a star.
He showed signs of having a bad attitude, but he still entertained me most of the time.
This is still just horrible news, I was shocked when I heard. I can never really articulate well with these things.

Poor guy ... that's way too young and I'm sorry he's gone. I used to figure him for a future main eventer, I thought he was full of potential.

Lance Storm has written a touching piece on his memories of Test here: www.stormwrestling.com/031509.htmlOh and since I haven't contributed to this thread already my condolences go out to all who knew him well. While he had his problems he seemed like a genuinely good person taken away far too young A really fantastic tribute. I wish he had been able to be funny on camera more, because this tribute makes me think he would of been a blast to be around.

I was always a big fan of Test so I still really don't even know what to say. My thoughts are with his family and friends right now.

Was it suicide or accidental? I am not sure if anyone knows, but that's messed up either way. I really enjoyed watching Test.

I still can't believe this happened. Two weeks ago in the coolest/douchiest wrestlers thread, I made a post saying that I had met him and that he was so nice to me even not long coming off his neck surgery (he was turning his whole body to look around, not his head).
Then I read the post quoting the blog he posted about his trip to Japan, and now this happened. I found out from one of my friends at wrestling training on Saturday morning.
It turned out to be a fun training session though, because in one of the training matches, one of my friends lifted a guy onto his shoulder for a Pumphandle Slam and yelled "TEST", but the guy slipped off his shoulders behind him and ran the ropes, then my friend nailed him coming off with a picture perfect Test-style boot to the face, and every one of us watching marked the hell out, lol...we even counted along with the finish.
I'm gonna miss Test. Thanks for being so nice to me when I met you big man. Still have that autographed 8x10.

A NOTE:
There are several "in memory of Test" videos at Youtube. While there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the videos themselves I would recommend that everyone avoid the "viewer comments" at all costs as quite a few of them seem insult him, make sick jokes about his death, and or make death threats against Vince McMahon and blame him for Test death...some even act as if Vince grabbed a gun, went over and shot Test himself.
Many of the replies are pretty disgusting.....just thought I'd give a heads up here about there being a lot of sick replies about Test's death.........

No, Test was given that name for being a Motley Crue roadie and that he would "Test" the microphones. you know that was a work right? Yes I do, but the name came from that angle. JR even says so in his blog.

A friend of mine won a trip to appear briefly on the Howard Stern show a few years ago. Two of Howard's guests that day were Test and Stacy. My friend said Test was an extremely friendly guy and upon hearing that he was a wrestling fan even took him (with Stacy) out to the bar afterward, bought him drinks, and just sat and talked. Not the kind of story you hear every day. Needless to say, we're both quite saddened upon hearing this news.
