Andrew “Test” Martin Dead at 33

Like so many who get into the wrestling business the good ones, hell even some of the great ones don’t make it pass 50. Unfortunately another lost that pro wrestling has to endure today. Andrew Martin who was formerly known as Test was found dead in Tampa Bay last night. I am completely shocked by this one just because last I had heard Test was doing well for himself in the real estate world. Come to find out he was having quite a few drug and alcohol problems. He just recently got back from a tour in Japan where wrestled from TNA Star Lance Hoyt. Judging from his MySpace he seemed like he was doing quite well. I am sure there is more to this tragedy then what has been revealed so far.

As far as Andrew Martins career goes, he didn’t do that bad for himself in the WWE. He arrived in WWE in late 1998 and won the WWE Hardcore Championship, WWE European Championship, WWE Tag Team Championship, WCW Tag Team Championship and held the illustrious WWE Intercontinental Championship. My part of Test’s career is when he was with Albert and Trish as T and A. I also liked the time he was managed by former Diva Stacey Kiebler. Those were some good times, and Test was a good wrestler. It saddens me to see these guys die so young when they have the rest of their lives ahead of them.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Test’s family, friends and anyone who knew him. You’ll never be forgotten
