Was he a great wrestler? No. But he was a good performer and no one deserves to die so young. The shame of it is he probably had a rough life for the very thing that made him (quasi)famous.

It's always a shame to see one of the guys from the fraternity of wrestling go.

Rest in peace.
Actually, the show was called World Championship Wrestling, which would changed its name to WCW Saturday Night in April 1992.
