Jonny Candido is reporting that Balls passed away earlier. He was only 44, and his birthday was yesterday, too.. at least he's with Axl again.

My god. For some reason, this one really gets to me. If this is true, it's really sad.

Sad news. I saw him wrestle live one time, back in 2007 at a Raw house show also featuring some ECW talent. He beat The Miz in the opening match. RIP.

Dammit man. I know what you mean. This sucks. Crazy that it's so close to Axl.
I was just watching some random match of his from his WWE run the other day. He was like the one ECW guy they brought in who could actually work a regular match. Didn't get enough credit for that.

I remember buying his Jakks fig and thinking of how cool it was to have someone like him in my collection. A true ECW Original. RIP Balls Mahoney.

I got to him and Axl take on Da Baldies at an ECW reunion show in 2009 at the ECW Arena. Tickets were absurdly expensive for an Indy event, but it's a show I'll never forget. Partially because at one point, Axl got thrown over the rail and almost landed on all 150 lbs of me.

That sucks. I wish the best of luck to his family and friends that will have to deal with this.

Very sad to hear. His opening match against Masato Tanaka at Hardcore Heaven 2000 is still one of my faves of all time.

I was really surprised to read this tonight. I actually met Balls last December, and he was really cool and friendly. RIP Balls.
