PrintTAMPA, 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 neighbour reported that she could see into his apartment window and that Martin appeared motionless for several hours.

That's a shame. Real good guy. I trained with him once when he was in town for a show. Too young to go.

The video above was filmed by a friend of mine. He met Andrew last year while he was in Winnipeg. "The Circus" is going to be huge when it comes out. If you think Vince didn't like "The Wrestler" when it came out, wait till he sees this documentary. This documentary is going to be explosive.

RIP Andrew.

P.S. If a mod sees this, please correct the spelling of Andrews last name. It's Andrew Martin. Thanks

There was some talk about how he had increased his size from when he first entered into WWE. TNA was going to release him as they didn't think he would be able to pass their drug test.
I think in his prime he was 6'6'' 275-285lbs
