Wrestling world mourns
Vienna champion dies shortly after his 40th birthday
The wrestling scene mourns the loss of John "Bad Bones" Klinger. Last year, the German had won the Lugner City Trophy in Vienna, but now he passed away just a few days after his 40th birthday.
"Today, May 20, 2024, my blood brother John Klinger passed away unexpectedly just a few days after his 40th birthday," announced fellow wrestler Cash Money Erkan the sad news on Tuesday night. "Bad Bones" had only celebrated his milestone birthday on May 14.
Career end planned
Klinger made his debut in 2004 and also entered the ring in the USA with TNA Wrestling during the course of his career, where he fought against future WWE star Samoa Joe, for example. At the beginning of June, Klinger wanted to compete once more at Prater Catchen before ending his career. Unfortunately, this will not happen, as the German died at the age of 40. The cause of death is not publicly known.
