WWE WRESTLER FOUND DEAD“The Test” Andrew Martin was found dead at his apartment in Tampa, Florida Friday night. The suspected cause of his death was steroid overdose. Reports said a neighbour had peeked in one of Martin’s windows and saw the former World Wrestling Entertainment champ motionless. A call was then placed on 911 and police immediately rushed to the scene.There were no indications of foulplay so drug overdose is the most likely cause, but this is yet to be confirmed as soon as autopsy reports are released.

He joined Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in 2007. He debuted in a tag team match with The Abyss and Sting against AJ Styles and Christian Cages. His last match before his death was against “Christian’s Coalition” where he, the Abyss and Sting defeated AJ, Christian, and Tomko.

From Wrestling Edge:

This would prove to be Martin’s one and only match in TNA as company officials decided against offering him a contract due to concerns over his physical size in light of the impending United States Congress investigation into the wrestling business following the Chris Benoit family tragedy. Additionally, his unimpressive wrestling debut, the feeling that he wouldn’t mesh well in the locker room, and an untimely post he wrote on his MySpace account defending the usage of steroids in professional wrestling, also factored into the company’s decision to not bring him back.

Regarding the MySpace post, Martin defended steroids by saying they’re mostly used for cosmetic reasons, and compared them to a facelift or botox. However, he said it’s wrong for athletes in other sports to use them because steroids give them a competitive edge.

Standing 6’6” tall, Martin became known as “The Test” because he always challenged his opponents to pass the test. He was also known as “The Punisher.” He was the latest among the string of wrestlers who died, the last was Chris Benoit. Andrew Martin died at the age of 33.
