Drug related?

Damn. Why do wrestlers die all the time?

RIP :(

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 02-16-2006 02:12 PM

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

R.I.P Johnny. :(

Gone Mad 02-16-2006 02:19 PM

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

RIP to Johnny. RIP Public Enemy.

Fryza 02-16-2006 02:21 PM

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

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. :(

Y2Jeremy 02-16-2006 03:19 PM

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 02-16-2006 03:47 PM

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

Mr. JL 02-16-2006 05:16 PM

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

R.I.P.

Nowhere Man 02-16-2006 05:20 PM

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.

6to1 02-16-2006 05:26 PM

RIP Grunge.

Chico 02-16-2006 08:38 PM

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

RIP Johnny. :wavesad:

Bo 02-16-2006 08:56 PM

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 02-16-2006 11:54 PM

Damn...another one bites the dust.

RIP.

Funky Fly 02-17-2006 02:16 AM

Damn, RIP

Sting Fan 02-17-2006 05:58 AM

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 02-17-2006 12:39 PM

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 02-17-2006 08:29 PM

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

Eunos 02-18-2006 11:47 AM

Any Wrestling death no matter who it is is always Sad

R.I.P Grunge.

But atleast Public Enemy are now reunited elsewhere.
