I'm not going to lie and say that I was a fan, but I'm really sad to hear the news that Umaga has passed away.

36 is no age to die - not even for a professional wrestler.

It's too early to say exactly why he passed but early speculation of heart attacks and drug overdoses has him as yet another statistic and victim of professional wrestling.

And he'd be a particularly sad statistic as the rumour always was that the WWE future endeavoured him because he refused to attend rehab following a wellness test fail.

Spooky fact of the day - Eddie 'Umaga' Fatu's last match was against Ken Kennedy in Australia recently. Eddie Guerrero's last match was also against Kennedy. That's not a record anyone could possibly want.

Again, I wasn't a fan, but it's getting to the stage where you wonder when something's going to be done.

I'm of a similar mind - I can't say I was an Umanga fan, but this is beyond sad and beyond sickening. No one should die so young.
