Former TNA star Joe Doering passed away yesterday at the age of 44 after a lengthy battle with brain cancer. He was just recently moved to hospice care.
Doering had brain cancer three times over the past several years and it’s the reason he had to stop wrestling in 2022.
“We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Joe Doering,” TNA wrote. “A commanding in-ring performer and a wonderful person, he will never be forgotten. We offer our deepest condolences to his fans, his friends and his family.”
AEW also offered its condolences even though he was never part of the promotion.
“AEW and the wrestling world mourn the passing of Joe Doering. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family, friends and fans during this difficult time,” the company wrote on X.
Several of his former colleagues, including Josh Alexander, Adam Pearce, Gail Kim, Lance Archer, Frankie Kazarian, and many more paid tribute to Doering on social media.
Apart from a long stint in TNA, Doering also wrestled for All Japan Pro Wrestling.
