I think that's why a lot of guys reach their professional peak in their early to mid 30s. Edge had a lot of flashy moves, but it wasn't until shortly after his big feud with Matt Hardy where he became even awesomer.

Had Test stayed consistently employed with them without suspensions or anything like that, he could have been a big player in the company. Then again, so could have a lot of people. He was usually kind of boring on the mic, but I always loved his ring work.

I don't even think suspensions would have played a role, as long as he would have stayed under contract (see: Edge). He should have been a bigger player after the wedding angle, but the focus was shifted to HHH/McMahon and away from Test. That was a mistake in my opinion, because that feud would have been money.

He certainly had the look and the talent to make it big, but things just didn't pan out that way. I do agree that he was a bit boring on the mic, but his ring work was incredible and he played his characters (especially heel) very well.

Not everyone has to be in the main event anyway. WWE seems to think otherwise. He would have been a great guy to have in the IC/US division and maybe someone to main event as a challenger in a PPV every now and then.

WWE only has guys in the main event and guys they'll put into the main event regardless of talent or crowd reaction. I almost forgot to mention they also have guys they hire, give a stupid gimmick to, job after 2 months, then get released.

As a Test mark, I'd say he should have been world champion. Seriously though, he could/should have been an upper midcard guy. Like you said, IC/US division and main eventing the occasional PPV. Maybe as a guy who could "never win the big one."

I loved his last ECW run besides him jobbing to Lashley all the time. I thought he'd be ECW champ for sure for a minute there.

Test has always been one of my favorite wrestlers, heh, at first it was mostly due to his bad ass intro music, I used to listen to that all the time while i was working out. His story line with him and Stephanie falling in love was so believable to me, and how they dropped him soon after from that story line always pissed me off. I was always hopeful that he would get another big run in the company which he almost did for a while, but it never seemed to me to eclipse his first one. Regardless, I never blamed him I believed in his ability as a performer just not the backstage politics but that's not really a discussion for here.

I never thought I would see this day so early for him in his life. Sucks.

Damn.

I honestly can't say I was a great fan of his, he had some good matches and he was talented, but I wouldn't call myself a 'Testicle'.

I did however, get the chance to meet him in a pre-show autograph session back in 2005. Being a former WWE wrestler, I was somewhat expecting him to give me a glance for a few seconds, sign an autograph and then move us along, but I was surprised by his manner. He was extremely social and friendly with the fans, eager to take his time talking to them. Even after the session had ended, he stayed around, talked to people and continued to sign items almost until showtime. He could have had an ego and done the bare minimum for his paycheck, but he didn't. He really cared about the fans and making sure we got more than our money's worth. I think that's what I'll remember him for.

Rest in peace, Test.

RIP. For whatever reasons it was. Just hope it doesn't turn all Benoit. I didn't expect that swerve either. But I doubt we'll see something like that again and I hope we don't.

Wow. Just wow. I was a pretty big Test fan, and years of using him in c-feds only solidified that. This isn't particularly surprising, but it still breaks my heart a little. RIP, Andrew

I caught the news sometime this afternoon, coincidentally while checking headlines on ESPN.com. Kind of sucks for the industry that now every time a wrestler dies young, it actually gets a story on "real" sports sites.

Test was always one of my favorites growing up. The wedding angle with Stephanie was great, but like everyone else, I wish they would've kept him as a legitimate player after the HHH swerve. I even kind of enjoyed the "T&A" stint, because their feud with the APA was pretty entertaining. He also got a nice push during the Invasion angle and even a bit afterwards.

It's just a shame that he got so heavy into steroids later in his career. From my memory, he was never really that big when he first came up, but by the time he was The Punisher it was pretty disturbing how big he was. I really have no doubt that it played a role in his death, and really wouldn't be surprised if the coroner's report came back saying that it was likely heart failure due to the steroids. Still, RIP. It'll be interesting to see if he gets a graphic or something on Monday night (probably not, considering the relative coldness of the WWE.com statement and the fact that a lot of fans might not remember who he was).

Yeah, it sucks they're getting caught and attention for the unhealthy business they run.
