It was announced today that former tag team champion, Tommy Rogers passed away today in his home in Hawaii. Rogers was found dead at the age of 54, but it is unknown at this time as to the cause.
Rogers is best known as one half of the Fantastics with Bobby Fulton. Together, the duo won championships in the UWF, World Class Area and the NWA and in 1997 he was Extreme Championship Wrestling where he had a decent run and was briefly featured on WWF television that year in the Light Heavyweight Division.
Following hip replacement surgery, Rogers retired from the ring in 2007. Rogers had been facing legal issues over the past few years and was said to be despondent over a potential long jail sentence following altercations with police.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Tommy Rogers at this time.
RIP: Tommy Rogers
