God, that's sad. Mad Kurt was a bit Marmite as comedy wrestlers often are, but I personally found him hysterical. I remember seeing him in a three-way with Trent Seven and Eddie Kingston at Attack just before COVID where he tried to mirror what they were doing as they walloped each other in a "serious" wrestling match, a great bit of physical comedy because he just looked funny.

I worked with Kurtis on a few occasions, the most memorable being his feud with The Butcher.
Last time I saw him I think was in Cardiff during Clash At The Castle weekend.
"Hello Ben from catch pro wrestling. How have you been Ben from catch pro wrestling?" That's how he always referred to me, even long after I had nothing to do with catch pro wrestling.
Just a lovely young man, hilarious, and pretty damn underrated in ring in my opinion. He had a great British rules match with Luke Dragon Phoenix.
Apparently Rev Pro announced his passing after being asked directly not to by Kurtis' Mum so that's really shitty. On an aside comments on the Metro's article about it are mostly old people screaming about vaccines and Kurtis would have found that really f***ing funny.
Anyway, it's just really shocking, he'll be missed.

I never seen any of his matches, but his Twitter hijinks were always outstanding. RIP

Even if you weren’t a fan of his, no good f***ing reason for anyone to die at 26. There just isn’t and that just sucks.
My thoughts to those who knew him, especially with some of the people I know who worked with him before.

His trolling of Austin Aries was the absolute best use of social media in the history of the medium. Very sad. RIP.

Kip Sabian with the tribute at AEW Worlds End For all the crazy negativity that's been and still going on with AEW here and elsewhere, it's moments like these where we need to remember what we have in them. Those little things like that are so crucial to keeping the "wrestling" in the wrestling. They really do go out of their way to acknowledge what it is they are and I'm always here for it. |

Only 26 years old. That's awful. My condolences to his family and friends. Way too young. RIP.

Honestly, I had no idea who this guy was but that trolling of Austin Aries makes him an absolute legend in my books.

I remember seeing him in Brighton a few years ago, think he was doing a 'keyboard warrior' gimmick I believe.
Awful news, far too young. RIP Kurt
