Morreu Dr. Rex Bacchus, aos 35 anos

O mundo do Wrestling está, mais uma vez de luto, desta vez com o falecimento de Chris Sims, conhecido como Dr. Rex Bacchus, aos 35 anos, vítima de doença prolongada.

Com o nascimento tardio para o wrestling, tendo iniciado carreira aos 31 anos, treinou na Team Vision Dojo, na Flórida, e tem sido presença assídua no "I BELIEVE Wrestling. Também competiu em outras promotoras da Flórida, como a American Combat Wrestling (ACW), EVOLVE, IGNITE, Full Impact Pro e, mais recentemente, Fightland, da Major League Wrestling. Foi múltiplas vezes campeão de equipas, nomeadamente na RIOT, e na Full Throttle Pro, juntamente com Chico Adams.

I’m very sad to share that Chris Sims, a member of our @MLW family has passed away. Chris loved wrestling. It helped keep him going during his battle with cancer. My thoughts are with Chris and his loved ones. Rest in power, Dr Rex. You are sorely missed.
