RIP Andrew “Test” Martin

The wrestling world has lost another of it’s brethren. On March 13, 2009, Andrew Martin was found dead in his Tampa Bay apartment. The cause of death has not been determined; however, police believe that foul play was not a factor. Police were called in after a neighbor reported Martin appearing motionless for several hours through a window outside of his apartment.

Under the ring name Test, Martin wrestled for World Wrestling Federation (later World Wrestling Entertainment) from 1998–2004, and 2006–2007. Most recently, he worked for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling under the ring name “‘The Punisher’ Andrew Martin”. Martin enjoyed success as a singles competitor, becoming an Intercontinental Champion, European Champion and Hardcore Champion. Martin was also successful in the Tag team division, becoming a WWF and WCW World Tag Team Champion with Booker T.

552 : Congratulations Martin Brodeur

He has done it! On March 17, 2009, Martin Brodeur recorded his 552nd victory, passing Patrick Roy to become the NHL’s all-time leader in wins by a goaltender. Perhaps among the most consistent goalies ever, Brodeur waved at the end of the game before a raucous crowd that chanted “Marty, Marty” and “Marty’s better” throughout the game.

Signed to play for three more seasons at least, Tuesday’s record-breaking performance would appear to be the first of the dominoes to fall as Brodeur stakes his claim to the major goal tending records. But he will worry about records at another time. He wants to win another Stanley Cup (he has 3 with the New Jersey Devils) and rack up these wins in order to make it really hard for anyone else to break his record.

Brodeur’s remarkable achievement came in a season in which he missed 50 games following surgery to repair a torn biceps tendon. He returned to the lineup on Feb. 26 and is now 8-1-0 over that span as New Jersey continues to lead the Atlantic Division and chase the Boston Bruins for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

A sure bet for Hall of Fame, Martin Brodeur will go down in history as the new winningest goalie of all time. Congratulations Marty!
