That's a damn shame, he could have been a legit threat in any promotion. He, along with Skullcrusher, are one of the few legit big men going today.

Another great person taken away from us too early.
My thoughts go out to his friends and family.

I can't believe this. I've always enjoyed Bison's work in Japan and the indies. Farewell, big man.

Just saw Cabana, Hero, Claudio and Corino mention this on twitter (I hardly use twitter but checked it today). That was shocking to see Bison has left us. RIP Bison.

Oh, wow. I really wish this wasn't true, RIP Bison. His loved ones will be in my prayers.

I always loved his work in NOAH, really underrated guy that never really got a fair shake due to their stance on gaijin talent. He was one of the few things that got me interested in checking out ROH in the twilight of Gabe's career.
So weird to read this as I literally listened to the AoW podcast with him just last week.
This sucks, such a great big guy.
R.I.P. Bison.

Aw man, what awful news. I liked Bison, despite not seeing many of his matches. Now thinking about his interview with Colt a few months ago makes me damn sad. RIP, big man.

Damn, he was just wrestling for NOAH. The wrestling world just lost a true big and gentle natured man. I pray for his family during this tough time.
RIP.

Scary to think that someone else who was in the match when Misawa died has now died themselves. Only Shiozaki and Saito now survive from that match. Adds more poignancy when Smith told the story about the match on Cabana's podcast.
Smith was a really good gaijin big man, and a great help to any other gaijin in NOAH, such as Cabana. Scary to think that he just completed the NOAH Global League only last week.

Listening to his AOW episode and the part where they talk about death is so weird to listen to now.
