Here are some random reader thoughts on the passing of Andrew 'Test' Martin. Thanks for all your feedback!

My parents and I were in Houston, TX for Wrestlemania X-7 in April of 2001. My dad booked our hotel room at the last moment and the only hotel that had an available room was at the actual hotel that the wrestlers were staying at. I didn't know this until we were actually walking through the hotel lobby and I remember seeing the Dudley Boys, Steve Blackmon, A-Train, Jeff & Matt Hardy, Lita, Edge & Christian and even Paul Heyman. I let my parents in on the news and they were shocked.........I in particular was pretty excited. Anyways, we got into the elevator to go to our room.....and the elevator was packed. But one guy stood out. Test was a huge guy! My mom was standing behind me and Test was at the front of the elevator.....and i told my mom to go shake his hand. She said NOOOOOOO he's busy. I said hold on and said "Mr. Martin", since I happened to know his real name. "I'm a big fan and so is my really shy mom over her would you mind shaking her hand so that she can say she got up close and personal with the WWE superstars on Wrestlemania weekend?" The rest of the people in the elevator burst out in laughter, but he said "SURRREEE!, where's mama at?" and he reached over the crowd to my mom who is about 5 feet tall on a good day and shook here hand and smiled. I just thought that was awesome! Fan Axxess was great and the show was the best Wrestlemania I've ever seen, but that was the real bright spot on our trip and my mom still brings it up today when we happen to be talking about wrestling. God Bless Andrew Martin and his family and they are in the prayers of the Soper family. Thanks for a really cool memory. We love u! Thomas Soper Corpus Christi, TX

Regarding memories of Test: I remember first getting into wrestling in 2003, and his feud with Scott Steiner over Stacy Keibler was very entertaining, he was one of the few modern wrestlers that had originality and charisma, if he was given the right push and if he put in 100% into his work he would have been a main star by now. I was psyched about Test returning to ECW right after the ECW product's quality was winding down, too bad his personal problems led to him being released from WWE contract. I didn't think whatsoever that Test's TNA stint would have been his last on a national TV circuit. This is a sad time in the wrestling world and he will be missed.
