Well, I was holding out hoping it wasn’t true. I just want to send my condolences to all of Chris’ family and friends. This one definitely hits home with just about everyone in the business as he worked with just about everyone between TNA, the indies as well as ECW and WWE. Chris was always great to me even back in the ECW days when I was selling programs and he was involved in booking meetings. I don’t think you’ll find anyone that has one negative thing to say about him. There were talks at one point of bringing Chris into ROH to take Joey Matthews’ spot in The Embassy. I’m sure he would have made his way in sooner or later. He also definitely would have made his way back down to FIP at some point. I’m sorry I’ll never have the chance to work with him. I’ll probably have more thoughts and share some memories about Chris later. Maybe I won’t. I don’t know. I’m just in shock.
