Drug related?

Damn. Why do wrestlers die all the time?

[Xero]

Man...

RIP :(

[loopydate]

Wow. At least they can get back to tagging in that Big Ring In The Sky.

RIP. :(

A part of me was hoping that at ONS2, Johnny would team with Gary Wolfe in tribute to Rocco and PB#2.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

I really liked Public Enemy, sad enough when Rocco died.

R.I.P Johnny. :(

[Gone Mad]

Damn, sad news. And 39 too, still a young age.

RIP to Johnny. RIP Public Enemy.

[Fryza]

RIP to Grunge and Rocco both. I'm sure they're embracing and remincing right now..

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Shitty deal

RIP

To be honest, I don't really know who he is, but it's always sad when anyone passes away at such a young age, so the best I can do is pay my respects and say rest in peace.

I saw them at an Indy show at a High School here a few years ago in a street fight. It was bloody and I think there was a table spot. :(

[Gertner]

probably heart attack. he was a big guy

[The Show Off]

Wow. At least they can get back to tagging in that Big Ring In The Sky.

Well if the Heaven Wrestling Alliance had a tag team championship, whoever holds those straps (probably Owen Hart and British Bulldog or Eddie Guerrero and Art Barr) better watch out because there job just got a whole lot more difficult.

[Bad Company]

A member of one of my favorite tag teams of all time, RIP Mike.

[Mr. JL]

Man, there so many wrestlers passing away at young ages...

R.I.P.

[Nowhere Man]

Watching the old ECW clip where Public Enemy invites their fans into the ring and the ring collapses. RIP to one of the best tag teams ever.

Wow, that sucks. At least Rock and Grunge are reunited again.

RIP Johnny. :wavesad:

[Bo]

I see him and Rock carring a table around now in the clouds.

RIP

I was never a big fan of the Public Enemy in all honesty, but it's always sad to hear when someone in the industry passes away.

My heart and my prayers go out to the friends and family of Johnny Grunge. Rest in peace.

[Shadow]

Damn...another one bites the dust.

RIP.

[Funky Fly]

Damn, RIP

[Sting Fan]

I really enjoyed PE, I only got to see them in there very short WCW run but I was a big fan and they were really my first exposure to the world of Harcore wrestling so yeah...

RIP

[Stickman]

I only remember Public Enemy in WCW and that's coming from a WWF fan. Once my parents finally made real money we started getting a lot more TV channels and TBS was one of those. Saturday afternoons had WCW's show on and Public Enemy is one of the few things I remember. Sad to see wrestlers die so rapidly.

[Batsu]

Damn, both members of Public Enemy dead...that's horrible. 39 is too young to go...

[Eunos]

Any Wrestling death no matter who it is is always Sad

R.I.P Grunge.

But atleast Public Enemy are now reunited elsewhere.
