The wrestling world is in mourning today as Florida wrestler Rex Bacchus passed away following a battle with cancer at age 35. Bacchus started his in-ring career in 2015, training with Team Vision Dojo and winning multiple titles in the region. The wrestling dojo sent their condolences to a man that meant the world to them and beyond:
“Independent wrestler Rex Bacchus has unfortunately lost his fight with cancer this morning around 5/6am. Rex started training at the Team Vision Dojo at the beginning of 2015 and took right to the sport in all aspects. He was one of the hardest workers inside and outside of the ring. Rex has been battling with cancer for sometime now. Things looked good when it went into remission but the cancer came back. He had been fighting and multiple benefit shows we’re going on to help him. Last month, Rex wrestled his last match in the main event of a benefit event and beat “Cancer” in a Death Match. Unfortunately, he lost the last fight but was in a comfortable place in his home with loved ones.
“Rex debuted at the Dojo on June 9, 2015 winning a multi-man tag team match. In his 3 1/2 years in the ring, Rex wrestled more than 200 matches, won multiple championships, and recently appeared wrestling on MLW. You will be missed greatly and always very much loved.”
It’s always incredibly hard to lose someone, especially at a young age & when it’s an incredible person. You were always there & a huge part of the team. Rex worked extremely hard & was there for everyone. You will be missed greatly, loved & always remembered. #RIPRex
