WWE announces the death of Bryan 'Crush' Adams

A couple of things WWE left out of their announcement but of which I'm sure they'd like you all to be reminded is that he was not under WWE contract when he passed away, thus the number is still only 5. Oh, and those Barney Fife's better not add him to any kind of list or Vince will start calling them Chief Wiggums instead.

Adams was a fixture in WWE and WCW for many years. His last run in the WWE was as a member of KroniK with tag partner Bryan Clark which ended after a pretty bad match at Unforgiven 2001 against Undertaker and Kane. He was also the third member and really the replacement for Axe in 'Demolition' and in the interest of full disclosure I was a huge Demolition mark.

He was also a member of the Nation of Domination and the New World Order during his career in WWF and WCW. He also founded the Disciples of Apocalypse during the "Gang Wars" era which was also a gimmick I liked but I felt was mishandled.

Best wishes go to his family, friends and fans.
