Another former WWE wrestler dies young

[Roy Hobbs]

Authorities say former professional wrestler Andrew Martin, who was known as "Test" and "The Punisher" to fans, has died at his Tampa home. He was 33.

The former World Wrestling Entertainment champion was found dead at his apartment Friday night. Police say a neighbor reported that she could see into his apartment window and that Martin appeared motionless for several hours.

Police say there was no indication of foul play. A cause of death will be determined after an autopsy.

During his time with Stamford, Conn.-based World Wrestling Entertainment, Martin held the Intercontinental, European and Hardcore belts. He was also a tag-team champion.

Martin most recently worked for TNA Wrestling under the name "The Punisher."

33 years old.  It's unbelievable how many wrestlers have died before age 50, especially in the past decade.

I understand why most of the people
are on that list. But Fabulous Moolah?
I'd say 84 is pretty "old"

is this another suspected steroid thing? i used to workout fanatically when i was younger so i would occasionally buy one of the musclemag type magazines for the diet plans. i swear every one i got would have something in there like "our thoughts and prayers go out to so and so"(some steroid competitor). they know they're killing themselves yet continue to do it. really crazy.

Wow, Test...  Can't believe he was that young, I played him on Smackdown 2 for the playstation  when I was in middle school, and turns out the guy is only 10 years older than me.  I wish I never followed wrestling as a kid, because it's just ridiculously sad now.

Why is this under "Other sports"? 

If a new Rocky movie comes out, doesn't that get posted under "other sports"? Or discussions of Friday Night Lights (great show)?

I met Test once at the CVS next to where I worked, he was not a cool guy at all... and he was with a umm girl who looked to be paid for her company by the hour

but still, its sad all these guys die - I actually was talking about my gf about if I were a wrestler, I'd be callede the "French Tickler" and tickle my opponents when they tried to pin me (and obviously pretend to be french), I'd be the biggest bad guy ever - this is a gimmick that would get over

french tickler...anyone? Bueller?
