WingedEagle Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Just saw a tweet from Sempervive that Tommy Rogers has passed away. Pour out a little for half of a fun tag team from the 80s. Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Sad news. He was a super talented worker. I've thought for a long time that The Fantastics might have been the most exciting team of the 80s. Quote
dkookypunk43 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Definitely sad news, a great tag team specialist Quote
Hawkeye12 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 RIP The Fantastics were one of my favorite babyface teams ever. Loved their feud with the Midnight Express. Quote
UKWildcat Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Just reading some stuff from Meltzer...seems like he had some big trouble in his life. Just never know how someone is behind closed doors. May he find the peace he was searching for. Quote
Lust Hogan Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 RIP Tommy. The Clash 1 tag match with The Midnight Express was my favorite tag match for a long time. I wore out the tape I had watching it so much with my brother and Granddad. Phenomenal worker. Quote
El-P Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 He was truly a terrific worker. Only 54 years old. Sad news. Quote
MikeCampbell Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Very sad news. The Fantastics were one of the best teams, and most underrated, of the 1980's. Quote
Fantastic Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Great wrestler, my first exposure to him was ECW of the late 1990's when he was teaming with Jerry Lynn and putting on solid opening PPV matches. Quote
victory Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Damn this sucks. 54 is way too young. It was cool to hear him on Austin's podcast last year. The Fantastics were truly one of the great tag teams. Quote
JazeUSA Posted June 2, 2015 Report Posted June 2, 2015 terrible news, The Fantastics are one of my top 10 tag teams off all time, too young, damn man just shocking Quote
goc Posted June 4, 2015 Report Posted June 4, 2015 Tommy's unexpected passing on June 1st has caused immense grief among not only family and freinds but also fans across the world. Tommy was a hard worker in the ring and put the fans before his body. His hustle in the ring left him with a list of injuries whose repairs drained him of most funds, and these injuries made it hard for Tommy to work in his last years. Tommy Rogers passed away on the island of Oahu, Hawaii; Far from his home in Florida. With the passing so unexpected, his family was left unprepared and are now desperate to find a way to bring Tommy home and lay him to rest. #BringTommyHome Just though I would share this. http://www.gofundme.com/TommyRogers Quote
jdw Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 The personal life stuff in Dave's piece was sad to read. Quote
