Aw Fuck. Awesome was one of my favourites. This guy really knew how to put on an entertaining match. Fucking amazing at what he did.
He'll be greatly missed. |

I was an Awesome mark. Away from the obvious stuff, I will never forget the shock at him winning the Hardcore title at MSG to start the WWF/WCW war. One of the last great Raw moments.
RIP Mike Awesome PS I wonder whether Styles will show some humility regarding him on ECW, he hated him. |

I have no remorse for suicides. Provided that has any truth to it I could care less.
Hoping that's just bs though. |

Hmm
Was utterly shocked coming in here. That's 2 in the first 2 months of the year...not a great start. When I heard Bam Bam had gone it made me kinda think "this'll be the start of a load of the guys that I used to watch dying". But having thought that you already have Big Boss Man, Davey Boy, Earthquake, Hawk, etc. It's truely sad just how many of these guys die so young. However, when suicide came into the equation I kinda just felt numb to it. Still...R.I.P. Mike Awesome |

Honestly, I expected him to kill himself after being tagged 'The Fat Chick Thriller'. Surprised he held out this long.
RIP, I suppose. You never like to see this sort of thing, but suicide is for bitches. |

I thought he was already dead.
Nevertheless, it's always sad to hear about deaths like this. It is a shame. |

Is Big Boss Man dead? I didn't know that
![]() And Mike Awesome, the fact that WWE did so little with him is what made me realise just how bad the WCW merger was going to be for some of my favourite wrestlers, of which he was one. This sucks I hope he has found his peace with whatever made him want to do this (if it's true) and my thoughts are with his family and friends.

Has any source worth a fuck confirmed the apparent suicide?
As much as I loathe suicide, I'm not going to take it on the word of Wikipedia or TPWW's incredibly horrible newsboards. |

Man, another sad day. I gotta believe tonight's Raw and tommorow's ECW will have a short dedication to him before the respective shows start.

So true. But (I know I may get flamed for this but fuck it) when Eddie died we had to hear it for ever. To the point where a story was made out of it. The most they'll do to Awesome is just post it on their website.

There's a difference between a wrestler who was still in the company and in a main event spot when he died and a wrestler who didn't get to do shit in the WWE (Awesome) or a wrestler who hadn't been seen in the WWE in at least 13 years (Bigelow).

Former ECW champ Mike Awesome passes away by Dave Meltzer Dave@wrestlingobserver.com Mike Alfonso, better known as Mike Awesome, was found dead on Saturday evening in the Tampa area according to those close to the family. He was 42. Friends were coming to his home in Tampa to pick him up and go out Saturday night at about 10:30 p.m. and he never answered the door and found him hanging in the home. It is believed the death was due to suicide pending results of the autopsy. Mike Awesome was one of the top foreign stars in FMW in Japan, who as a high-flying big man was made ECW champion on two occasions in 1999 and 2000. As champion, he signed with WCW, creating a situation that many feel ended up killing the title as Tazz from WWF was brought back to ECW to win the title, yet at the same time the title was jobbed in WWF. He worked for a few months with WWF after the collapse of WCW, as well as with All Japan, but had not wrestled in some time. He was working as a realtor at Coldwell Banker at the time of his death. *shrug* |

Pretty sad really, far to young to die, and you really have to pity him and feel for his family if it was suicide.
