ollie Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 More sad news for the wrestling fans on the board.wrestlingobserver.com articleFormer ECW star Grunge passes awayDave@wrestlingobserver.comMike "Johnny Grunge" Durham was pronounced dead on arrival at an Atlanta area hospital this morning.The only available details were he was at a friend's house in Peachtree City, GA, and was gasping for air and rushed to the hospital. The preliminary diagnosis from the hospital is that it was said to have to do with complications from sleep apnea.Grunge and the late Rocco Rock (Ted Petty), as the tag team of Public Enemy, were the first major stars created by ECW in a program against The Funk Brothers. They became ECW's most popular act, to the point they were subject to a bidding war of sorts between WCW and WWF. However, taken out of the ECW environment, they weren't as successful.Grunge, whose age is believed to be 39, was said by friends to have never been the same since Petty's death.

ollie Posted February 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I got to meet the Public Enemy back in '94 at an ECW convention. So sad that they're both gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
