Klucsaritis was under contract with WWE from March 2001 until February 2004 and performed under the name “Chris Kanyon,” said an online press release on the WWE’s corporate website. -- Chris Kanyon, Ex-WWE Wrestler, Dead in Apparent Suicide - Crimesider - CBS News NEW YORK (CBS) Chris Kanyon, one of the first openly gay pro wrestlers, was found dead in his Queens, N.Y. apartment Friday night after he apparently committed suicide.

I liked Kanyon. He was fun on the mic and usually a good mid card performer. I thought he had a great look as Mortis. Sadly that was part of the planned stable of Mortal Combat themed wrestlers. Glacier was part of that as well. When all of this disolved and became a joke they had fun writing the characters. But you could tell the guys were just glad to be a part of the show and get a few lines. It didn't matter that they were the butt of a joke.

I hope that was a joke, cause that was crass. I don't know who this Chris Kanyon dude was since I stopped watching the WWE a long, long time ago, but there could have been various reasons why he killed himself. Maybe he was depressed, maybe he had a lot of personal problems - I dunno. Suicide is a complicated issue. Still not cool, dude.

Yeah, that was a bit harsh, especially when you consider that suicide is one of - if not the - biggest killer of young men.

you did not over step and you are right. Plus when somebody does pass the words of comfort are not for those who are gone, but those they leave behind.

the lack of a tribute might be due to his lack of time in the WWE
he was only really there for 3 years and of those 3 years he only wrestled constantly from July to October 2001 then got injured then was relegated as a jobber on the b-shows when he returned that could be the case.. but maybe not he was awesome as Mortis!

My only point is that it doesnt show a good example to the youth of today, when you take what is essentially the easy way out and suddenly theres a televised tribute to them....HELL NO. sorry if Im harsh but hey, it is what it is.
