Oh god.
I was an on and off listener to Wrestlecrap Radio its in various incarnations and Blade was always a charming and funny guy on them.
I really hope RD is okay. Losing Merle 20 years ago was hard enough, but to lose one of his closest friends again like this has to be devastating.

I haven't posted on these forums in several years now but I felt like I had to here. I have been visiting the Wrestlecrap site and listening to episodes of Wrestlecrap Radio for at least a decade, and especially this last year they have helped get me through the hard times. I am very saddened to hear of Blade's passing, he seemed like a genuinely lovely man and I thank him for all the laughs he and RD have given me over the years.
RIP Blade.

Damn, I got to meet both RD and Blade at Starrcast here in Vegas a couple years ago, and WrestleCrap was a huge part of my formative years as a wrestling fan, and its influence endures by the fact that I visit this place daily. What terrible news.

Wow, very sad. Always appreciated his passion for Troma and shared love of the band Flipp.

Such a shame. Blade Braxton was a fun guy to talk with and created some really entertaining stuff. Since I’ve been on the Wrestlecrap / FAN forums since the Delphi days I talked with him a good amount a long while ago, but probably not much if at all since the Wrestlecrap / FAN split years ago. Way too young to go.

Just saw on Facebook. Many of us have been on these forums since the beginning of wrestlecrap, and have lots of fond memories of that board and of Blade. He’s entertained me for almost 20 years and he will be missed.

Holy shit, that’s awful. Haven’t been a regular follower of the WC site in years but really enjoyed him and RD on WrestleCrap Radio back in the day when it first started (it’s so old the word “podcast” wasn’t even a thing when it started). Just awful to hear, used to enjoy bullshitting with him back when this was WrestleCrap Forums

This is one of the most shocking, saddest things I’ve heard most recently. I go back to the Wrestlecrap days myself, and I remember Blade fondly, and remained connected to him on social media. I’m so sorry for his family and friends, and how we lost a great guy. RIP.

I seriously can't believe it. I can't wrap my mind around the fact that he's gone.
f***.

I never met him but his work with Wrestlecrap was a HUGE influence on my interest in wrestling forums and the world of wrestling. I never listened to Wrestlecrap Radio but had seen enough of him on the site to think he was a cool dude. It's really sad how life can end at any time. It's a reminder that we need to continue to cherish our families and loved ones while we can.

I won’t speculate but RD has posted a goodbye text Blade sent. RIP Blade.

I don't know what to say. I haven't followed WC as closely as I used to but from reading his stuff to WCR he & RD were a major part of my week for a long time. This really sucks. RIP Blade.
