Such a shame. You hear about wrestlers of that era being pieces of shit and taking dumps in women's handbags, and this guy just seemed like a nice dude trying to make his way in wrestling. So underrated and left us too soon.
I was just watching Test promos and interviews recently. He had alot of potential and was really talented in the Attitude era, shame they misued him in ECW. I remember him talkin about the use of painkillers and poppin pills and how he didn't want to end up like one of those wrestlers that OD'd from doing that...sad that actually happened to him. RIP
Happy to hear you guys talk about Test. I believe I brought him up in a comment section here before. Thank you guys for giving the dude some recognition. RIP Test, we miss you man.
When Andrew died, I remember being beyond devastated. I followed his career from around 2001 when I started watching wrestling. When he got released the first time for having a broken neck, that was horrendous. Then they brought him back for ECW, he was only 30 when they brought him back, had a very good little run there. Then they released him again, I followed his independent run (he made several appearances here & there) Always hoped he would've gone back to WWE in someway, he was still so young. I still have a photo of him press-slamming AJ Styles from TNA Hard Justice 2007 laminated. RIP big man.
Steroids are very dangerous long term, at very high doses or when someone doesn't get direction on what they're doing. You see 19 year olds stacking HGH, Dbol, Tren and Insulin now. They won't live long.

Omg stop being a baby he isn't talking about all the bad shit but this type of shit comes from them self medicating it has nothing to do with the current lot being soft and so called "men" behaving like children and needing time off because they got shouted at looool

A lot of times with addicts...what will happen is they are hooked on hard drugs, then they either get locked up or have a moment of clarity and clean up. Then they end up relapsing, and In doing so, they’ll take the same doses that they took when they were chemically dependent on the drug, and they’ll overdose and die.
This video makes me wonder how Edge and Christian felt about Test’s death. There’s not one video about them talking about Test here on TH-cam. I didn’t bring those 2 up because they’re Canadian, but because Test kinda arrived to the WWF with Edge and Christian.
I met him as a kid one day grocery shopping with my mom, then later found out he went to the same sushi place my family did and even came in once when we were there, was huge fan for that even when he turned heel, gone too soon :(
Damn , 33 years old. He’d only be like 45 now & as high as WWE were on him he very well may have had another run there down the line had be beat his demons. Such a shame...
being an ex addict myself (bout 3 years clean now) looking at the veins in his shoulder triggered me !!! Messed up aint it ? 3 years ! and i see that vein and think Wow ! that shit would hit him hard !!! better veins/bloodflow to heart and brain , better rush ! its crazy how much it effects your brain chemistry . thats why people that have never experienced it for themselves cant understand . i get it though . from the outside , its hard to understand why the addict "just cant stop" . its hard when your own brain is working against you ! not just your thoughts , your brain sending impulse and distress signals to your body . fight or flight .

Is ceroquil anything similar to soma?when I took a ceroquil that fucked me off for like a day and a half that crap is no bueno unless you truly need it
When I tore my bicep and rotator cuff the week before my surgery I went hard on it, played football (soccer) nearly every day and played in goal and made some insane dives knowing I couldn't make it any worse so I might as well, no pain medication either as I didn't take it back then. My shoulder used to slip out of the socket a couple times a week too it sucked.
@@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL no, I know right? sometimes I'd just be sitting there my shoulder would slip out of the socket, it was so painful.... slipped discs too I hear that is fairly common, I did three in my lower back they said would heal on their own until a few years later I woke up paralyzed with them and needed emergency surgery.

Test got screwed over right when he was in the middle of being given a big push with the Stephanie McMahon angle. Because Triple H wound up falling in love with with Stephanie in real life the storyline was just scrapped and Test just got left hanging. It was like the WWF didn't know what to do with him anymore so he was just floating around being put in tag teams a mid card roles. It's really stupid that his push stopped just because Triple H and Stephanie were in a real relationship. It's like the Bart Gun situation where there was so much more you could've done with both of them but they just didn't want to. Why did they have to pay for just doing their job. Everything was setup just right for them to become stars.
Test was awesome but I remember Prichard saying that be brought heat on himself within days of debuting coz he trashed Kevin Nash directly to HBK & Triple H's face.
Maybe he did when he was a green rookie in 1998? but like Disco says Test and Nash were good freinds. Test said in a 2005 interview, the best thing anybody ever did for him in the business, was when Nash chnaged the finish of their match in 2003 on Raw to Test going over. Nash said he didn't need it and wanted to put younger guy over. Nash got Test into rehab. I remember reading it in the dirtsheets and Nash also wrote a blog about Test's death iirc.
@@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL Yep, in 2003. It was a small rivalry. It started because Test was hitting on Trish Stratus backstage then Kevin Nash came out of nowhere then got in Test’s face to confront him about it. They then had a match later that night.
As a guy who played originized sports year round from 8th grade until I graduated, and airways had very physical jobs, right now im.a mail man at age 34, I can look at professional wrestling and understand how sore they be, especially in the morning.. no matter how "fake" people think it is, that's still very physical activity they do damn near 365 days a year.. I wad arguing wit my homie about how wrestling is more physically straining than football
And zero time to heal from injuries. Not to mention you still have to go to the gym to maintain your physique. It's a non stop grind. Or at least it was. Not sure how it is now.
He's wrong about the UK, it's just a different ball game getting medication from a doctor over here, they aren't common but I get oxycontin on prescription for a legitimate injury.... but you can't ask for what kind of medication you want, it has to be the doctors idea, in the US you straight up ask for xanax and if you don't look like a drug seeker with a legit doctor then you get it.
As to your last statement, no good doctor would do that. Xanax didn't work for me bc I literally got migraines over half the time, even at a low dose. I went back and tried Xanax ER, I swear it must've been a sugar pill, did nothing. Was waiting for my first psychiatrist appointment and he agreed to try me on another one, which worked far better.
@@misterx6346 really? I guess not for xanax but I thought you had TV advertising for types of medication that in the commercial tells you to ask your doctor for? Which made me assume that would be how you would be prescribed something like xanax, like how you would approach your doctor for a kind of medication.
Lmao don’t kid yourself, they would have just smoked herb on top of all the shit they were doing, I’ve smoked weed for 10 plus years with the exception of the last two, and weed doesn’t do jack shit for extreme pain, that’s just a lie
That couldn't be further from the truth for 95% of people who become addicted to drugs. They don't do it because it makes them feel better. Once you become addicted, you do it to feel "normal." You don't get high off of it anymore. You do it cus your body is so use to having it that it tells you an order to feel normal, you have to use. After the first time you get high on most drugs, you're constantly chasing the dragon. A dragon that you will never catch. I just hope they get better before it's too late. Remember everyone recovers, some just do it 6 feet under. RIPTEST
One of the last stories I remember about Test was why he was let go from WWECW... Apparently he was too ripped and the higher up's didn't want the company to be tied to another steroid case... Never confirmed he was on the juice but it just looked like he was... Tough luck
@@Charsi_Escobar Santa Clara, CA. I use to see wrestlers there all the time when they were in town. But I would say Test and Albert were the ones where I was like..Holy crap they are monsters in person.
I remember even as a kid thinking “why is Vince McMahon fighting Triple H and not Test” if Stephanie had done the heel turn on Test and not Vince Test could’ve been a big babyface after that
@@morganjacob1195 They ruined so many careers man smh I'm sorry but Triple H is just BARELY any higher than a Miz or a Orton in my book. When I seen how many he buried ala Booker T, Big Show, Test it really made me not like dude.
@@spectrumlocalb191 Test seemed to be obsessed with having a bodybuilder physique back then. The steroids were definitely his downfall. Back then quite a few wrestlers seemed to be obsessed with being very jacked back before smaller wrestlers started getting pushed more.
Man I remembered Test in his last run with WWE and I got to see a bit of his TNA run. Dude looked jacked af. Sad to hear this man, cause I always thought the dude was seriously undervalued. And shit who can't forget that theme song.
Test was yet another one of the many dozens of wrestlers who were much better and a bigger star than Disco could ever dream of being in his wildest dreams
Saw a program on the largest pill mill was raided by DEA in 2012 in Miami. Is that why all wrestlers live in FL because it's way to easy to get a hold of "prescription" pills. I lived in Florida and the weather is so so and beaches are nice but drugs are everywhere.
I've had Percocets for rods in my league and they didn't do anything so I stopped taking it only took about three. And I had a really bad wisdom tooth that was pulled and they gave me oxycontin, took one stop taking it cuz it didn't do anything. So I guess I just have a really high pain tolerance.
DDP sed it best "you can't cheat gravity" guys fly around the ring get hurt end up on pain killers and hooked on them just like the NFL this patent continues
know what was confirmed? Test was originally supposed to debut as a member of DX at Mania 14 but then HBK got injured so badly that it threw all the plans up in the air.
Soma drooling like outside your mind vacantness feel good is similar to like the chasing the dragon heroin like over coming intense explosion of feel good falling out like numb everthing and just escape and go away from yourself.
Until they started doing bullshit matches with him and Lashley and Big Show his run at WWECW was actually pretty good they set him up as a solid heel with a Goldberg level streak but they stopped his push to push Bobby Lashley which just killed his momentum I recommend the MarkyD video on him
Test was on his way to becoming a World Heavyweight Champion just stupid politics and unnecessary set backs as well as drug demons Rest easy Andrew Martin aka Test.
Seriously though, he was very good and athletic in the ring. Very quick especially with that incoming big boot. Mic schools weren’t the best but he definitely was amazing in-ring.

Imagine how many of the boys would still be here today if they could have just smoked herb instead if having to do some, painkillers, booze, etc
Lmao don’t kid yourself, they would have just smoked herb on top of all the shit they were doing, I’ve smoked weed for 10 plus years with the exception of the last two, and weed doesn’t do jack shit for extreme pain, that’s just a lie
@@Iambetterthanyouanduknowit true but I've heard a few wrestlers say the same thing about weed. If it saved a few it'd woulda been something at least.
@@Iambetterthanyouanduknowit it actually can help people in extreme pain too. Especially one who isn't an addicted habitual abuser of it.
these guys were likely smoking tons of weed too.

Test was a good big guy and had good heat as a heel when he was with stacy keibler
Very under appreciated heel. He delivered when treating Stacy like a you know what. People really hated the guy just for it.
that was legit heat
Who put Cena’s arms on Bully in the thumbnail?
🤣🤣😂

The real sad thing about this clip is the fact Nick Aldis says the word “like” so many times
and he’s from the UK and in his 30’s
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
You mean a grown man who cosplays as Ric Flair circa 1987 and has a fake American accent, says 'like' every 2 seconds? Surely not (!)
teach him how to be cool like you are.
@@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL not possible 😂
Who's the brit?
TEST LIVES ON.
how?
@@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL through his fizzans bro lol
Best thing iv ever heard disco say
RIP Cousin Andrew
That couldn't be further from the truth for 95% of people who become addicted to drugs. They don't do it because it makes them feel better. Once you become addicted, you do it to feel "normal." You don't get high off of it anymore. You do it cus your body is so use to having it that it tells you an order to feel normal, you have to use. After the first time you get high on most drugs, you're constantly chasing the dragon. A dragon that you will never catch. I just hope they get better before it's too late. Remember everyone recovers, some just do it 6 feet under. RIPTEST
Get well soon KONNAN
news coming soon, make sure you're following the team on social media.
Didn't Test leave TNA for NJPW?
Its ridiculous they had him cut his hair. The guy was a younger version of kevin nash, yet the "powers that be" had a problem with that...😮
One of the last stories I remember about Test was why he was let go from WWECW... Apparently he was too ripped and the higher up's didn't want the company to be tied to another steroid case... Never confirmed he was on the juice but it just looked like he was... Tough luck
he was 100% on the juice. look at him in TNA.
Yeah that was so quick in TNA especially the way he looked.
I saw him at Gold's Gym and he was really impressive looking in person.
Which location?
@@Charsi_Escobar Santa Clara, CA. I use to see wrestlers there all the time when they were in town. But I would say Test and Albert were the ones where I was like..Holy crap they are monsters in person.
@@angelinaramon what year was this?
@@scottishdanny2432 probably would’ve been during the T&A days
was his name test because of all the test he was injecting
he came into WWE with a roadie gimmick.
lesson...always have a backup plan...too many guys have none and go downhill quick
why would he need a backup plan?
@@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL uh if you are a pro wrestler you BETTER have a backup plan...WWE today fast food tomorrow...
I remember even as a kid thinking “why is Vince McMahon fighting Triple H and not Test” if Stephanie had done the heel turn on Test and not Vince Test could’ve been a big babyface after that
Triple H and Stephanie did not want test to be a big thing. Two cents
@@morganjacob1195 They ruined so many careers man smh I'm sorry but Triple H is just BARELY any higher than a Miz or a Orton in my book. When I seen how many he buried ala Booker T, Big Show, Test it really made me not like dude.
AND WOULD HAVE DONE MORE DRUGS
@@thetraveler1182 I wholeheartedly feel you, man.
@@spectrumlocalb191 Test seemed to be obsessed with having a bodybuilder physique back then. The steroids were definitely his downfall. Back then quite a few wrestlers seemed to be obsessed with being very jacked back before smaller wrestlers started getting pushed more.
Test to me will be remembered as that guy that was dating Stephanie just a another body guy that wasnt that big of a deal
do you really need it explained to you? ok, seems like it does:
he's remembered for that storyline because IT WAS THAT GOOD.
That *Nick Aldis?*
Man I remembered Test in his last run with WWE and I got to see a bit of his TNA run. Dude looked jacked af. Sad to hear this man, cause I always thought the dude was seriously undervalued. And shit who can't forget that theme song.
wasn't his TNA run really short?
@@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL Yeah I think it was a month and his final match was his debut.
R.I.P. Andrew Martin.
Test was yet another one of the many dozens of wrestlers who were much better and a bigger star than Disco could ever dream of being in his wildest dreams
GET MY GO
Saw a program on the largest pill mill was raided by DEA in 2012 in Miami. Is that why all wrestlers live in FL because it's way to easy to get a hold of "prescription" pills. I lived in Florida and the weather is so so and beaches are nice but drugs are everywhere.
i think it's because that's where the NXT building... but who knows.
I've had Percocets for rods in my league and they didn't do anything so I stopped taking it only took about three.
And I had a really bad wisdom tooth that was pulled and they gave me oxycontin, took one stop taking it cuz it didn't do anything.
So I guess I just have a really high pain tolerance.
Percocet and oxycontin have the same main ingredient: oxycodone
Huge potential
sadly wasted potential.
One of the best big men ever Test was always a joy to watch
Test was underrated as hell. Only thing he needed to improve was his promo skills. But that was literally it. Rip test
DDP sed it best "you can't cheat gravity" guys fly around the ring get hurt end up on pain killers and hooked on them just like the NFL this patent continues
Always liked Test, everyone knows his big boot was a thing of beauty but it should be said he had a GREAT top rope elbow drop too.
His elbow drop from ECW’s December to Dismember Elimination Match was just awesome.
He was supposed to get a big push in 2002
where'd you hear that?
He did in late 2001. Worked main events against The Rock etc
Test was awesome.
Hopefully a Network special is in the works.
Think it was a hard time for test one moment . Top push then gone.
He was only 33 😭
know what was confirmed? Test was originally supposed to debut as a member of DX at Mania 14 but then HBK got injured so badly that it threw all the plans up in the air.
Done by the numbers so basic anyone should be able to see his death is suspicious.
He OD’ed though?
@@Charsi_Escobar probably made to look that way but it's one of theirs
th-cam.com/video/phNGWvoQys4/w-d-xo.html
Is it true that Disco has a prosthetic leg and that's why WWE never signed him?
this is harsh to say but Test was a roid head, plus he was mixing that stuff with street drugs. Exactly what did he think was going to happen to him?
Soma drooling like outside your mind vacantness feel good is similar to like the chasing the dragon heroin like over coming intense explosion of feel good falling out like numb everthing and just escape and go away from yourself.
Until they started doing bullshit matches with him and Lashley and Big Show his run at WWECW was actually pretty good they set him up as a solid heel with a Goldberg level streak but they stopped his push to push Bobby Lashley which just killed his momentum I recommend the MarkyD video on him
Test was an absolutely abysmal professional wrestler, he was horrid
Test was on his way to becoming a World Heavyweight Champion just stupid politics and unnecessary set backs as well as drug demons Rest easy Andrew Martin aka Test.
there's a lot of rumours of him getting himself backstage heat
@@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL I ve heard
Damn he is listed at 6'6" shit I always that he was taller
Are things like friendship real in ProWrestling?
An intervention wouldn’t have any effect on his CTE problems.
Disco why do you ramble so much get organized
Test was a bigger draw than anyone AEW will ever have.
AEW is a failing company
Seriously though, he was very good and athletic in the ring. Very quick especially with that incoming big boot. Mic schools weren’t the best but he definitely was amazing in-ring.
@@heelgill Test was excellent, AEW should try to sign people like him
@@philwalsh8975 Definitely wish there was someone like him there. Now that I think of it, there’s too much acrobatics in AEW. No problem with it, just saying.
@@heelgill well, they do have Brian Cage but they made him into a total joke within days
@@philwalsh8975 I just wish he’d go solo but now he’s just running away from Darby Allin and Sting. He should be dominant! He should be in the world title picture.
Is he the only guy to ever get cut from TNA over steroids? I can't remember them cutting anyone else over juice.
Drugs sure but steroids?
I loved Test! He was so underrated. A damn shame that WWE didn't do anything big with him. He had quite alot of championships under his nane but he never had the World title. But I still think he belongs in the HOF. He deserves it.
