Not much detail right now, but it's all over my Facebook and Twitter newsfeed.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Wow, RIP.

He was young and had so much time to improve into a great worker.

 

[Chris]

Wow, this is crazy news.

RIP

 

[Mick Donalds]

This is truly awful news. Sorry to see the young man go.

 

[AZUCAR!]

He's only just returned from All Japan too.

RIP

 

[We Are Legion]

Sad news. Wonder what killed him. If it was a car accident or something, we'd know by now. Must have been something that required an autopsy.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

He was found unresponsive in his hotel room. Police say there was no foul play.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Yeah, he was found in his hotel room

I read also he had previously struggled with Heroin abuse.... possible relapse??.... No matter, still a shame and terrible news. I'm sure he eventually would've had his chance in WWE given how close HHH and Flair are. I remember when he first appeared on Nitro, hard to believe how long ago that was and how young he was... RIP

Man that was unexpected, this is last thing Flair needs

RIP

I have a cousin who's teaching in Japan and is a massive wrestling fan. He said he actually got to see Reid while he was there. While he wasn't the greatest, my cousin would go on to tell me that he saw some great potential in him. Reid even signed some stuff for my cousin. My cousin liked him and told me because of what he saw in Reid and how well Reid treated him that he would be a life long fan. Hopefully Ric's alright. I hope the family is okay.

My thoughts are with the whole family. That's not fair to Flair, RIP.

 

[NotReallyaGoodUN]

Hopefully Ric's alright.

Doubtful.

@zigglerHEEL - He was into heroin?

 

[Troy]

Wow awful news. He had so much potential, not just because he was Flair's son but because of his amatuer wrestling background as well. He would eventually have been given a chance at the big time and it sad to see this happen. It would have been incredibly tough to grow up as the son of one of the greatest of all time so maybe that pressure pushed him towards the drugs.

RIP

 

[zigglerHEEL]

Doubtful.

@zigglerHEEL - He was into heroin?

I guess so, I'll try to find the story where it was mentioned.... it read as though he had been clean for a while now though....
