I'm not gonna lie and say i was a big fan of his, but all the same it's a shame to see a guy who had potential pass on. And 33? ing hell that is no age to go. The words in that video are pretty messed up now in hindsight

At least Nancy Grace will have something other than the "Tot Mom" to talk about on the next show.

I was a huge fan of Test. Even had him as my World Champion in my fantasy booking fed for a while.
Rest in Peace, Test.

...I cant believe this. I really cant. After watching that video, I dont know. I remember him debuting, I remember being so pumped when he came back to ECW, I got to see him live a few times...
Test, you will be missed, and I can't believe your gone. My thoughts and prayers go out to your loved ones.

Here is the official comment from the Tampa Police Department on the passing of Andrew "Test" Martin: At approximately 8:00pm on Friday, March 13, 2009, Tampa Police Officers responded to the Post Harbour Apartments, located at 725 Harbour Place Drive to check on the welfare of Mr. Andrew J. Martin. A neighbor reported that she could see into his apartment through a window and that Mr. Martin appeared motionless for several hours. Officers entered the apartment and discovered Mr. Martin to be deceased. At this time there is no indication of foul play. The deceased was transported to the Medical Examiners Office for an autopsy to determine the cause of death. The date of the autopsy is undetermined at this time. The next of kin has been notified of the death. Andrew "Test" Martin is a former wrestling champion with the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). Lieutenant William Ferguson Tampa Police Department Source- www.wrestling-radio.com/?view=newsitem&hline=10972 From the sounds of it not being foul play, i'd imagine a heart attack or something is the cause

This is a real shame, i always liked test(mostly debut-2002 pre heel turn) and really felt wwe misused him(Alltho i never could see him as a main eventer or world champion besides the ECW title) he was a pretty good IC champion. And 33?! Thats just f'd up.
R.I.P. Test.

That's a bummer. It always sucks when somebody dies, especially in this business. I was a fan of the longhaired, leather pants Test. After that I cannot say I was a fan. It's just a shame. Now this is going to lead to 2 things: 1: people are going to start blaming Vince again, even though he hasn't been there in years, and 2: All sorts of RIP test sigs are going to magically appear on WF.

Wow, very sad interview, although intentions will only go so far, even if he stops drinking, doing illicit drugs, etc, the steroids are still going to mess you up and in recent years it was incredibly evident that he was juicing. He was 6'7, he didn't need to be super jacked to be a threat. Some guys can't see that and keep pushing themselves to be bigger. Such a shame

I consider myself a big Test fan. He was always one of the guys I enjoyed watching. He wasn't a GREAT wrestler but he always put effort into his work and you could see that. I've always appreciated that he put that effort into his matches and made them the best they could be. His match with Shane McMahon at SummerSlam 1999 is still one of my favorites and may very well be the best of that show. I won't condone any use of drugs that MAY have occured but until that time comes, I can only mourn the loss of one of my favorite stars from the Attitude era.
