His wife Lindsay announced the news at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/432701287195168\/permalink\/461676064297690\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook.com<\/a>. &#8220;You think you can be prepared for this when you know it\u2019s coming, but you just can\u2019t,&#8221; Lindsay wrote. &#8220;The only person who\u2019s comfort I want right now is the one who can\u2019t give it to me. I miss him so much. I know where he is now is so much better, but it doesn\u2019t change how much I miss him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> Lindsay also noted that his death was exactly one year after his brain surgery. Cappotelli was a co-winner of the 2003 Tough Enough with John Hennigan. He worked in Ohio Valley Wrestling until the the brain cancer diagnosis cut his career short. The news of his death is truly heartbreaking and I wish the very best to Lindsay and the rest of the family.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-3044269171\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, Prowrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":57,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[1695,101],"class_list":["post-42058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsticker","category-wwe_news","tag-matt-cappotelli","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
