This is sad I know he had his problems but its so sad to see another one go.
I'm going to miss him.


Edit: sorry guy I dont no how to qoute things

Very sad, he was an amazing wrestler in his day.

 

[The Dewbliners]

Wow. I just saw him a few months ago at an autograph session, and he seemed to be doing better. This is saddening.

WHAT?!

Are you fuckin' kidding me?!

Oh MAN. Jesus Christ, that fucking sucks. Steve Williams was a one of a kind talent who still doesn't get the praise he deserves, that man could go hold-for-hold with anyone to ever lace up the boots in this business from Bret Hart to Benoit, and he had all of the fighting spirit and tenacity of a Stan Hansen. Damn this really sucks.

RIP Dr. Death, you will be missed man. In honor of him here's one of his finest matches:

[Dr. Stinger A. Zoidberg]

Ah man, Thats just sad. That evil, demonic illness we call cancer strikes again. RIP Dr.Death

 

[The Doctor]

Seriously?!

Aw damn, that sucks. RIP.

Without a doubt,"Dr. Death" Steve Williams is in the Top 5 of all-time Toughest SOB's in wrestling history!!
You could beat on him all night long,and he would still come back for more and kick your ass the whole time!!
Underneath the brawler,the man also had some great technical skills too!

RIP DR. DEATH..YOU WILL BE MISSED!!

Yeah he was a tough, TOUGH motherfucker. His nickname wasn't "Dr. Death" for no reason, dude earned that moniker when he was THIRTEEN YEARS OLD and used to destroy his competition in amateur wrestling while wearing a Jason-like protective-mask.

This really sucks, I didn't even know he was sick. I'm going to have to stay glued to JR's blog the next few days because those two were real close.

Man that is terrible news. Dr. Death was a freaking beast, it's a shame cancer took him. RIP Steve.

This match was one of my personal favorites and helped me respect both Dr. Death and Hansen deeply. I remembered Dr. Death from the NWA days. He was a powerhouse and was just a freak of nature. His Oklahoma Slam made the Power Slam a finishing move. He was just a marvel of wrestling talent. And in this match with Hansen, you can see these two give their all. It's for the Triple Crown title in Japan. What a brutally awesome match.

R.I.P. Dr. Death... you will be missed. Hope the afterlife was much better than your last days in mortal form, my friend.

I can't believe how little press this has got.

Dr Death was always one of those guys who inspired me. He will be sadly missed.

RIP.
