On A Pale Horse

Who knew the world of professional wrestling was so dangerous? The past few years a number of wrestlers or people closely associated with the wrestling circuit have died rather young. Miss Elizabeth, Eddie Guerrero, Mr Perfect, Owen Hart, British Bulldog Davy Boy Smith, too many others to mention and now Mike Awesome or as his momma named him Michael Alfonso.
Mike's wrestling career took off in Japan in the late 90's under the moniker of The Gladiator. From there he moved on to the ECW in 1998 and had great success with a fued between his character and Masato Tanaka. In 2003 he moved onto the WCW and his final career stop was in 2001 with the WWE. He retired in 2005 and concentrated on his real estate career.

Mr. Alfonso was found dead from an apparent suicide by hanging.
