World Wrestling Entertainment has learned that Bryan Adams, also known to our fans as Crush, has been found dead today. More details are unknown; stay tuned to WWE.com as they become available.

And another...

IF WWE wasn't so commited to the "We're the only source of sports entertainment"out there talking point they might be able to do a half convincing it's all the fault of the evil "New Japan" dojo system.

Yeah, but Maxx Payne's not dead yet.

 

Well, unless WWE killed him and destroyed the body.

I thought one of the WWE's talking points was "It's all the fault of that evil rasslin promoter Ted Turner".

I thought one of the WWE's talking points was "It's all the fault of that evil rasslin promoter Ted Turner".

One of my friends, who has been strongly pro-WWE during this entire ordeal, actually E-Mailed me with the news and noted that this is another late 90's WCW guy who died young, apparently forgetting that Adams wrestled longer and more prominently with WWF. So I guess WWE pushing that talking point hasn't been entirely unsuccessful.

[Jingus]

Well, he was the original KISS "Demon", so clearly he was into devil worshipping just like Woman.

 

Oh, and can someone fix the title? Brian Adams is a prematurely dead wrestler. Bryan Adams is a regrettably alive singer.

Considering the number of image make-overs that Adams was given, it's an honest mistake.

 

 

Demolition Crush, Kona Crush, "Yoko's lackey" Crush, biker "convict" Crush, and Kronik Brian Adams generally looked fairly different due to the use of hair dye and face paint.

 

 

Kind of the same way that Brian Clarke's many gimmicks generally get forgotten in favor of Kronik. (Nightstalker, Adam Bomb, Wrath, etc.)

In the case of Brian Adams, perhaps it can be blamed on Scientology.

Isn't Scientology anti-medication though? Or am I thinking of something else?

 

Doesn't mean Vince wouldn't blame it if he thought it would work.

[Jingus]

You're thinking Christian Scientists. Scientology makes you travel around the world molesting the native children and make really bad movies.

Thanks. Always get those two confused.

Toxicology tests on former pro wrestler Brian "Crush" Adams came back and his 8/13 death was ruled a drug overdose.

 

Adams came back with a lethal combination of buprenorphine (an analgesic), carisorpdol (somas), chlordiazepoxide and alprazolam (an anti-anxiety medication).

 

Dr. Leszek Chrostowki of the Hillsborough County Medical Examiners Office ruled the death to be an accidental overdose of the combined effects if the four medications.

 

Adams had no anabolic steroids in his system at the time of his death.
