R.I.P. Kanyon

From wrestleview
"Former WCW and WWE star Chris Kanyon (real name Chris Klucsaritis) passed away last night from an oversoe of pills at his apartment in Queens, NY. Klucsaritis was only 40 years old. His death is believed at this point to be a suicide. Klucsaritis had been suffering from a bipolar disorder and had threatened suicide in the past according to those who were close with him.

He spent the majority of his career in WCW and later made a jump to WWE when WCW went out of business. Klucsaritis was released by WWE in 2004 and had a short stint in TNA. He made headlines later for becoming the first openly gay pro wrestler and tried to garner publicity for himself saying WWE fired him for being gay. Klucsaritis had announced a retirement, but still wrestled here and there. He was also part of a lawsuit against WWE along with Scott "Raven" Levy and Make Sanders saying the company misclassified wrestlers at independent contractors. The suit was later thrown out of court because the statue of limitations had expired on filing a suit like it."

Kinda sucks to hear, i liked Mortis when i was little, then he began his Kanyon run, feuding with the flock then joining Raven only to turn on him & froming the Triad with DDP & Bam Bam Bigelow. Sure his programs in 2000 might've failed, but it was WCW so what do you expect. I had always wished he recieved a bigger push in WWE, got a decent push in 2001 with the Alliance and teaming with DDP to feud with Undertaker & Kane, had runs as Tag Champions in wcw & wwe, as well as U.S. Champion. After that was pretty much Velocity bound, and was the "MVP" before Montel Vonrarious Porter.

WHO BETTA THAN KANYON??????????????????????????????
