He just turned 44 on April 11th, how sad and tragic. And Axl just passed in February too. Now the "Hardcore Chair Swingin' Freaks" are together in Heaven. I smell a Hardcore Tag Team Tornado Match Vs. Public Enemy, what about you?

I remember going to The Elks Lodge with my friend around 03-04ish for USA Pro Wrestling indy shows. Balls was a usual guy on the card. One time my friend and I somehow got a hold of a steel chair during the show. Balls was in the main event that night in a tag match. We wrote random things on the chair in blue sharpie (had those since we wanted to get autos, right!?). I think it was Balls n Axl or Sandman Vs. Raven and someone. Anyways, midway through the match we gave Balls our chair. He got in the ring and read out loud what we wrote right before he hit some unlucky soul with said steel chair. My friend remembered one time Balls got into a fight with some random guy who was trying to kick game at his wife in the pre-show autograph lobby too, lol.

He had such a great entrance song too. How could you not love the guy? He came out to AC/DC music!?! Always got the crowd pumped and singin' along. You got the biggest Balls in Heaven now, Balls. Rest in Peace.
