As we reported earlier, former ECW and WWE star Balls Mahoney has passed away. Mahoney was best known for being an ECW Original and spending a brief time in the WWE. He was only 44 years old and his birthday was actually the day before he passed away. Incredibly sad day for wrestling fans. Some of his friends and former colleagues mourned his loss on twitter.
Here were some of the tweets:

Balls Mahoney was my first opponent in ECW. It saddens me that I am now the only survivor from our WrestlePalooza PPV match. #RIP
