Chris Kanyon dead?

I'm not sure if this is true, as it hasn't been released on any site yet. However I've got a few friends who live in Sunnyside right near Chris and they're all hearing he passed away last night. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE YET. So don't get all crazy if it's not. I'll keep you posted.

Holy shit I hope it isn't true.

Who betta than Kanyon?

DEATH! That's who!

Seriously, I'm hoping this isn't true. Don't really want to see yet another dead wrestler.

I read on another forum that someone from Sunnyside texted this guy saying he OD on meds

Like I said, this is just word of mouth from a few people I know who live in Sunnyside right near Chris. When you type it into Google search you'll also see another guy from Sunnyside posting a message which goes along with it. Like I said, I'm trying to find out some solid details on this.

Well, just so you know, this thread is second on google if you type in Chris Kanyon dead.

But I hope this isn't true.

I'm going to go ahead and close it until anything else pops up. Yesterday was April fools so that could have something to do with the rumor... but we'll see.

It seems to be offical now.

Here is the report

It is the unfortunalte responsibility of Wrestling-Radio.com to report that former WWE and WCW star Chris Kanyon has passed away. Reports are that Kanyon committed suicide sometime last night. A longtime friend of his is saying that a pill bottle and "several notes" were found close to Kanyon's body, but details are very sketchy at this time.




During Kanyon's career, he worked as Mortis in WCW before reverting to his real name. He also worked in WWE as part of the "WCW/ECW Alliance" storyline. His run in WWE concluded after Kanyon revealed his homosexuality, and as a result, he appeared on the Howard Stern radio show several times. Kanyon also retired from the ring at one point, but had recently returned this year to work a couple of matches.




We at Wrestling-Radio.com would like to offer our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Chris Kanyon. If you would like to share a memory of your own, please leave a comment below.

RIP Kanyon

This sucks. He was pretty awesome in WCW. He had some fucking sweet flashy moves. It's a shame he never got a decent push in the WWE. R.I.P.

 

[JurassicBonez]

Yet another one. 40yrs old. R.I.P.
