I never really had much interaction with Mr. Braxton, but Wrestle Crap was one of influences (definitely a major one) to Monster Crap being born. It truly does suck that this happened.
RIP Blade Braxton

Guys, I know you wanna speculate about what happened with Blade, but this is not the place for that. Okay?

Man this sucks, an absolutely devastating loss, for so many here especially who knew of Blade's work. I hope as many others have said that RD is ok, and Blade's gonna be dearly missed... idk what happened and I'm sure that'll be revealed over the coming days but I truly hope he knew how loved he was regardless.

I won’t speculate but RD has posted a goodbye text Blade sent. RIP Blade. That was NOT a good bye message from Blade. RD said it was from a year ago in the message he wrote.

Ugh, this is awful to read.
Like a lot of us here, I came here originally via the WC website, way back in 2004 and the days of EZBoard. Hearing this and knowing the pain a lot of people are feeling over this is not a pleasant thing to log on and discover. Just way, way too early for him to go like this.

So tragic and shocking to hear. Wrestlecrap Radio was one of the first wrestling related podcasts I listened to. Will miss his hilarious sense of humor and wonderful chemistry he had with RD.

I've been here since the WC days, and Iwas a big fan of WrestleCrap Radio. I remember waiting every Friday for the new episode to post. I was on an episode once, singing Jingle Bells with my sisters for one of their Christmas episodes. Blade said it sounded like I got kicked in the nuts! And I remember the running gag of John Thomas the collection officer, I still have a voicemail from 15 years ago saved on my phone, from a collection agency looking for a John Thomas RIP Blade

Merle, Blade, and Earthquake dying has to feel rough for RD.
RIP.

I remember a Smackdown when Blade and one of this buddies was in the crowd, front row, holding up Wrestlecrap related signs.
During a match involving Kane he held up sigh I think it said “Katie Vick Fan Club”, well after the match as Kane was leaving the ring he looked in direction Blade and I guess he noticed the sign ... on the next Wrestlecrap Radio Blade said that sign was confiscated by security not long after that.

this... this one really stings he was a big part of why I joined the forum back when this was the Wrestlecrap forum as I found this forum through Wrestlecrap I was exchanging messages with him on Facebook 2 weeks ago regarding the whereabouts of a mutual friend RIP Blade Braxton

I never spoke much to Blade. A few words here and there and far between. I had a feeling I spoke to him recently, so I looked. I did. About his involvement in the Unsolved Mysteries reboot and his part in an episode. It’s eerie now.

I always liked Blade because, growing up, a lot of the people I knew who were into wrestling sort of...didn't have social skills? He was one of the first people I saw who seemed like he could laugh about the absurdity of wrestling but also seemed like it wasn't his WHOLE LIFE. He was a funny, well rounded dude apart from it.

I had the pleasure of knowing Blade for over 16 years and just recently was talking about Troma movies with him on facebook and now he's just gone. I am having trouble processing this

I wouldn't have found this place, some dear friends I made along the way and got the skills to help with what I'm doing now without Wrestlecrap Radio. He'll be greatly missed

I never interacted with him much on the old site but the few times that I did, it was over our shared love of the Detroit Lions. Here's hoping Jared Goff can surprise some people this year for him. My condolences go out to his family and friends.

WOW!
Back in 2005 thru 2007 when I was not doing well I would message Blade off and on and He always cheered me up and made me laugh.
Been at least 3 years since I talked with him.
RIP Blade
EDIT-Just checked,and totally forgot I talked to Blade last summer for a few minutes. Sent him a picture of my Cliff Clavin Mego Figure sitting on top a mini Death Star in my kitchen. Then reminded him that I still owed him a beer and a meal. "Since Ultimo Gallos is pretty much a rip off of Midnight Rose". Got told "Whatever ya gotta do to make money sir."

Sorry to hear this. He was a funny guy and is going to be missed. Like others, I hope RD is ok. And maybe this year, the Lions will do it for Blade.
