Wow. What a shock! My sympathies. He always seemed like a really fun guy to be around.

Unfortunately at that age, it's natural to wonder if he doesn't share something in common with those wrestlers that have gone that young.

I wonder if he is only among the first of too many.

Lima was probably closer to 42 but still, its too young.

Could be but even for a wrestler, that's pretty young. The ones of this generation seem to be passing because of sleeping pills and painkillers. The guys from the 80s are the ones that seem to be passing from steroid abuse.

I'll never forget the homerun he gave up to Adam Dunn that went into the Ohio River. RIP Jose Lima.
