Never heard of him until ten minutes ago. Apparently his wife and son were found dead too. He had left some tournament at the weekend to attend to some family emergency.

Very weird, very sad too.

Just heard this.  One of THE greatest wrestlers.  Im shocked.  Very suspecious by the sound of it.  WWE will have to drop the Vince McMahon is dead angle now.

One of the greatest Wrestlers ever was an Irishman, Steve "Crusher" Casey from the famous Casey family from Sneem in Kerry.
This from a time when wrestling was real and none of these pumped up lads on steroids wearing the wifes lycra tights.
Tis a load of shite nowadays with their pre-planned entertainment, sad news for this lad whoever he was.

Utter, utter shock

According to Yahoo it was a murder- suicide. I t seems he killed wife and child then killed himself the next day.

This is an example of the effects of steroids in my" personal opinion". Steroids change not only the bodies chemistry but also the psychological chemistry of a person. I can state this as opinoin as I had a friend who was happy go lucky then went on the  juice then six months later hung himself.

Feel sorry for the extended family and the thoughts running through their heads.

Holy Shit, Still in shock, haven't watched it for a few years but he was a class act, and the crippler cross face being one of the more realistic moves that actually hurt you.

Hope he hasn't killed the family

RIP

I didn't even know he was alive.

Thanks Mike I heard most of that interview when it was originally on Wheeshies show in 2002. Pleasure to listen to it all again.

Sad news.

[Long time dead]

Messages of support to his wife and kid and extended family but hard to swallow the accolades coming in around the globe for a double murderer.

Like DH, as soon as I heard it I immediately thought it was a "roid rage" incident. Very sad for all concerned.
