Chris Kanyon


Wrestler Chris Kanyon died on April 2nd 2010 at 40 years old of a Drug Overdose. It is being looked at as an apparent Suicide. He wrestled his first match on April 5, 1992 in Levittown, New York and for the next three years would work as a physical therapist while wrestling on the side. He became a full time Wrestler in 1995, after several appearances in the wwe as a jobber wrestling with Shawn Michaels, Diesel, Tatanka and Bob Holly. It was here he was discovered by future friend James Mitchell who had him train with The Fabulous Moolah in South Carolina and with Afa at the Wild Samoan wrestling School.

Joining the WCW in 1995 he wrestled as a jobber for several years until 1997 when he became Mortis and feuded with Glacier through out the Summer of 1997. When the angle was dropped he was paired with Raven for The Flock and then later with Bam Bam Bigelow and Diamond Dallas Page for the Jersey Triad.

During this time he also worked as a stunt coordinator and stuntman on The Jesse Ventura Story as well as the WCW produced film Ready to Rumble.

The last 2 and a half years of WCW, Kanyon involved in several feuds with DDP, Bigelow, Mike Awesome, Buff Bagwell, and finally Ernest "The Cat" Miller.

He would join several ex WCW Stars in the move to the WWE after they bought WCW. He would continue to work for the WWE and for their farm system OVW until his release in February of 2004 and retired soon after.

In July of 2005 he announced his return to wrestling and returned to the independent circuit. He would take part in several benefit shows for Hurricane Katrina.
