Mike Awesome found dead in home after apparent suicide
http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/...9/3645984.html

Quote:
Former ECW World Champion Mike Awesome (real name Michael Alfonso), was found dead in his home on Saturday evening. He was 42 years old.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, Awesome was found hanging in his home, found by friends, and suicide is suspected.

Awesome has been out of the wrestling spotlight since the acquisition of WCW by the WWE (then WWF). He worked a short program after the merger, but never attained the heights he had as a headliner in ECW and in All Japan.

On a major scale, Awesome was last seen beating Masato Tanaka at ECW's One Night Stand in 2005. Awesome pinned Tanaka on the floor of the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City after an Awesome Bomb through a table. The match had the fans chanting "This match rules."

On his website, StormWrestling.com, Lance Storm said that Tanaka-Awesome "stole the show" at the initial One Night stand. "I talked to Mike a lot that night and was very happy for him. He seemed really happy and content with his life. He talked about how he enjoyed pushing his daughter on the swing in their back yard," wrote Storm. "He would combine doing that with doing Hindu squats by doing a squat between each push. I also remember discovering that he had been happily married longer than I had, which is a rarity in this business."
From his match with Tanaka at ONS 2005:

"Suicide dive by Mike Awesome, and it's a damn shame he didn't succeed in taking his own life."

Very sad. Wrestling needs to look after their guys the way the NFL has to look after their retired players. Too many of these guys are completely fucked up once their careers are over.

The weird thing about Awesome was that he had a successful post-wrestling career and, apparently, an active social life. He just had something wrong with his personal life that he couldn't overcome. It's too bad he couldn't get help for it.

The Energy Center of Wisconsin has a world champion.

That's odd.
