RIP Hack Meyers

[Strummer]

Died today of complications due to brain surgery. Two days shy of his 42nd birthday.

 

Can't believe he was only 19/20 when he started in ECW. Definitely had a unique look and one of the most recognizable names in early ECW

 

RIP Shah

Saw this on twitter walking home from dinner. One of the original ECW stalwarts I remember watching late night on MSG back in the day. Absolutely floored by how young he was. Thoughts and prayers to his friends, family and loved ones.

Loved watching him when putting together the Best of ECW. He was my age. So Sad.

Very sad news, I was always a big fan of the Shah. I remember watching him when I was twelve years old. When ECW was on the Empire Sports Network. I can't beleive that he wasn't even ten years older than me.

I can't believe I'm older than he was.

Puts things in perspective pretty quick.

 

RIP

[The Chief]

Shah! Shah! Shah!

 

Crazy how over he got that chant when those types of things weren't really done back then. A lot like "yes."

 

And yeah, he was very young. I was always surpised he didn't do much after ECW. Hell, he was out of ECW before they even got really hot. Anybody remember when he showed up in the WWF as a Jakked/Shotgun jobber? Didn't even look like the same guy.

 

I have fond memories of Hack. RIP Shah.

Why did he go nowhere? I don't even remember an explanation for him leaving, now that I think of it. He was a precursor to Balls Mahoney, I think, and his hometown (the Last House on the Left) was awesome.

He seemed to have run his course, and was pretty much a JTTS by Summer of 1996. He took part in the angle where Scorpio was holding open challenges for Loser Leaves ECW Matches at November 2 Remember 1996 and dropped a fall (along with another ECW Mainstay JT Smith). He did a small comeback in 1997 to team with Balls and Axl against the Dudleys and that was pretty much it for him.

I believe Hack moved to Florida . That was his reason for leaving ECW . I guess Paul E. did not want to pay trans from Florida . Same thing happened to Mustafa when he moved out west. I just watch Hack wrestle Don E. Allen last week . Very underrated talent from ECW early days . He really connected with the crowd and did not get near enough credit for helping to build the ECW brand. Rest in Peace .
