Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted February 26, 2019 Didn't consider this at the time, but Grandmaster Sexay's death made him the first person to appear on an NXT supercard to die. However, as his sole appearance came at the now forgotten "NXT Arrival" rather than one of the more recognised "NXT Takeover" events, he does have an asterisk by his name. Some good candidates to be first to go from an NXT Takeover proper though: the aforementioned Enzo Amore and Paige are never going to make 40, plus there's the batshit insane likes of Austin Aries and Simon Gotch, the suicide risk of Big Cass, actually-wrestled-one-month-after-brain-tumour-surgery Jushin Liger or Kassisus Ohno could finally Mr Creosote himself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another one of the ersatz "Nature Boy" wrestlers of the 1970s, he had some big runs, particularly in the Central States where he won tag gold with the likes of Harley Race, Les Thatcher and Alfred Hayes.
