Wrestling fans have had an unfortunate summer with the deaths of Brickhouse Brown, Brian ‘Grandmaster Sexay’ Christopher, and Nikolai Volkoff. Sadly, another death in the wrestling world occured yesterday, that of former WWE Tough Enough contestant Brian Danovich, who passed away at the age of 38.

No official cause of death has been reported as of now.
Brian Danovich was a contestant on the Million Dollar Tough Enough where he completed the obstacle course during auditions with a torn pectoral which impressed John Laurinaitis. He was signed to a developmental deal with Ohio Valley Wrestling but was never able to make a name for himself due to multiple injuries.
WrestleTalk‘s thoughts are with Danovich’s family and friends.
