Former ECW champ Mike Awesome passes away
by Dave Meltzer
Mike Alfonso, better known as Mike Awesome, was found dead on Saturday morning in the Tampa area according to those close to the family. He was 41.
More details should be forthcoming today.
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.
This is such horrible news, Iam still in shock he was one of my favs back in fmw and ecw, I just cant beleive it, wow. RIP Mike, you were truly awesome.

I think what makes it worse that it seems like it was a suicide.
