Wrestling promoter Chris Bryan, aka Chandler Biggins, has sadly passed away. Bryan was one of the promoters for the Absolute Intense Wrestling promotion in Cleveland, Ohio. Bryan was recently hospitalized in March after he had to undergo emergency surgery due to a health issue that turned out to be very severe bacterial infection.
Bryan had been through several surgeries and then was put into a medically induced coma at one point. He had reportedly started going through physical rehab and then underwent another surgical procedure a few weeks ago. Sadly, he passed away last night.
On behalf of everyone here on the website, we send our thoughts and condolences to the friends and family members of Chris Bryan. A number of Bryan’s friends and peers in the wrestling world have also commented on his passing on Twitter, and you can read those tweets below.
