Today former wrestling superstar Brian Adams aka Crush was found dead....
The Web site WWE.com announced Monday that wrestler Brian Adams — known as "Crush" — was found dead, less than two months after the murder-suicide of professional wrestler Chris Benoit and his family.
Tampa police told FOX News that Adams' wife found him unconscious in bed and called 911. He was pronounced dead in the home when medics could not revive him.
The death of former wrestling star Crush has officially been declared an "unexplained incident."
In the incident report filed by the Tampa Police Dept. and obtained by TMZ, former wrestling superstar Brian Adams aka Crush "was found by his wife unconscious in bed not breathing."
According to biographical listings at Wikipedia.org and IMDB.com, along with wrestlers "Ax" and "Smash," Adams was part of the face-painting, leather strap-wearing tag-team known as "Demolition."
Adams was arrested in 1994 on steroid possession and gun charges. He was later acquitted of the drug charges, the sites reported.
Adams was forced to retire from wrestling in 2003 after he injured his spine in a match.
An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow.

Larrabee:
I attended last night's show in the Garden. The atmosphere was crazy and the event itself was great. A few notes:
They taped Raw from 7 pm to 9, meaning it wasn't shown live on TV.
D'Lo Brown had a tryout match before the shows got started. He was awesome, hopefully they'll sign him.
The crowd was split 50\50 for Cena most of the time. Orton got cheered HUGE by the non Cena fans.
No Triple H appearance, which was a major disappointment since everyone expected him to return. Instead, we got surprise appearances by Mick Foley on Raw and Stone Cold for the SNME show.
Evander Holyfield had a boxing match with Matt Hardy...Michael Buffer was there as well.
The pyro was insane, especially Batista's. The arena filled with so much smoke at one point, it was hard to see the ring.
- Overall it was a tight show, I picked up tickets about 2 hours before the start of it. Arena wasn't full.
RIP Crush

im sure Crush was a user of steroids at 1 point in his carrer but its not all the time the reason of death is because of them, remember these guys batter their bodies every day for sometimes 30+ years, it takes its tole on bodies and sometimes they give up
but at 43 years old i have to suspect some sort of drug abuse
daWappla:
It´s the drug cocktails that are to blame. At one point they might take steroids, then they get injured and take pain killers, then I imagine they take sleeping pills at one point just to get to sleep and then they take cocaine. Over the years that can´t be good.
RIP Brian Adams
You know what´s actually so "funny" to see when it comes to ex WWF/E wrestlers, the favorites get their RAW is XXX shows but the lesser knowns like Crush just get two lines on the WWE homepage. "We are sorry to hear that blablabla..." Pretty pathetic. They get treated like circus animals.
