RIP Test
And we lose another one. Former WWE star Andrew "Test" Martin was found dead in his Florida apartment. Martin was only 33. It's kind of scary that the wrestlers from the late 90s Attitude Era are already starting to pass away. I can't say that I'm surprised, especially considering that Test was looking absolutely jacked during his second WWE run under the ECW brand and supposedly had a history of alcohol problems. The sad part is that Martin had reportedly cleaned up and had been hinting that he would be making a return to the ring in Japan. I can't say that I was a huge fan of his, but he was a solid, stiff worker with a great motor and excellent agility for a big man. Watching Test was sort of like watching Kevin Nash in fast forward, and Test would have probably been a huge star if it weren't for his limited abilities on the microphone. Nevertheless, it's a tragedy to lose another one of our generation's wrestlers so early.

I still remember his one-word answer to the question, "what would you be doing if you weren't in professional wrestling?"
"Porno"
I can totally see him saying that whilst in 'roid rage.
Such a shame...
