TAMPA, Fla. -- Authorities say former professional wrestler Andrew Martin, who was known as "Test" and "The Punisher" to fans, has died at his Tampa home. He was 33.
The former World Wrestling Entertainment champion was found dead at his apartment Friday night. Police say a neighbor reported that she could see into his apartment window and that Martin appeared motionless for several hours.
Police say there was no indication of foul play. A cause of death will be determined after an autopsy.
During his time with Stamford, Conn.-based World Wrestling Entertainment, Martin held the Intercontinental, European and Hardcore belts. He was also a tag-team champion.
Martin most recently worked for TNA Wrestling under the name "The Punisher."
Test was one of those guys who was quite obviously using steroids. When he first entered the WWE, he was a big guy but not huge. Over the course of the next few years he put on more and more weight and it was pretty apparent to anyone watching that he was juicing. Yet he had a job during a significant period of that time with WWE and even wrestled with TNA.
A lot is made of how many professional wrestlers die at a young age, due to conditions brought about by steroid use or by drug and alcohol abuse. But this right here is yet further proof that there's something still wrong with the wrestling world, and that they need to work harder to stop this kind of thing from happening.
