Lance Cade Dies
From PWInsider:
I am extremely sad to confirm that Lance McNaught, who was one of Shawn Michaels' first wrestling students and worked for WWE under the ring name Lance Cade, has passed away at the age of only 29 years old. We are still working on further details at this time. Cade was part of the original class of students trained by Shawn Michaels and Rudy Boy Gonzales at Michaels' Wrestling Academy in San Antonio, Texas, a class that also included Bryan Danielson and Brian Kendrick. Due to his lanky frame and athletic ability, there were comparisons to a young Barry Windham. Cade was immediately signed to WWF developmental after a few appearances for FMW in Japan and went through OVW and HWA. Cade was brought to the main roster in 2003 to form a team with Mark Jindrak (now Lucha Libre USA's Marco Corleone), going as far as to work the Wrestlemania XX card as Jindrak's partner. Cade was eventually sent back to developmental and returned as Trevor Murdoch's partner. That team clicked a little better and eventually had a WWE Tag Team championship run. Cade's most prominent run in WWE was as a second to Chris Jericho during Jericho's excellent feud against Shawn Michaels. In the midst of that run, however, he was released from the company after an incident on an airplane where Cade took too many painkillers and went into a seizure. The plane had to be diverted in order to save his life and WWE opted to release him. The company eventually brought Cade back and had him under a contract for about a year, but released him without doing anything. At the time, Cade claimed in an interview with me that the company let him go because he asked for help due to personal issues he was having stemming from addictions to sleeping pills that he began using to deal with pain while getting himself clean. Sources within WWE scoffed at the claim at the time. Cade worked for independents and Japanese dates after his release. Sadly, he leaves behind two young daughters. On behalf of everyone associated with PWInsider.com, I'd like to express our deepest condolences to Lance's family and friends at this time. ![]() |

If it was nothing to do with his big fuck off drug problem, I'd be very surprised.

I was a big fan of his. I loved his work with Jericho for that short time and marked out when I heard they rehired him.
This news sucks. RIP. |

I hate to admit it, but I had to pause for a moment as I was thinking "Hang on, I know a Garrison Cade. Who's Lance Cade?"
Nevertheless, 29 is too damn young to go. RIP. |

Wow. I really don't understand why so many wrestlers are dying so young. Don't they realize they shouldn't do these drugs?

Wow..what a shame. It truly is sad to see someone that young and talented go. And I agree, he had alot of untapped potential that could've came out in a few years time.
And I don't want to speculate, but given the information in the article, would anyone be surprised if it turns out to be an OD?? |

we don't know how he died yet gold standard. But I see it like this...
These guys spend years training to be on top, and that is WWE. Maybe after such a rise and an abrupt fall back to obscurity they can't handle the downtime. Idle hands are a devils play thing remember. |

I'm assuming it was a drug related death. Painkillers maybe?

Far too young.
Cade and Jindrak were my favourite tag team briefly in 2003.

A bad ticker? If it had anything to do with pills I wouldn't be surprised.
But 29 is way too young to go. R.I.P. |

Cade and Murdoch were my favourite tag team for a while. Was really hoping they'd return because they worked so well together. My heart goes out to his family especially his daughters.

Too bad. Wrestling companies, especially the WWE, need to seriously do something about drug use in their business. These things just happen too much.
RIP Lance, may God bless your family |

yea, it's sad, but like others are saying, "not surprised." I mean I swear every time I click to go to TPWW and see "Breaking News" I immediately think "Who died?" It's just something I have come to expect.
But 29 wayyyy to young. I guess my hopes for a Cade and Murdoch reunion are finished |
