This ECW legend's memory lives on forever

Axl Rotten and his brother Ian found prominence wrestling for a tag team known as the Bad Breed but found even greater prominence once they translated their real life animosity into a feud of their own. Their program lasted for many months and led to them reuniting once again once it had culminated.

Towards the end of his life, Rotten suffered a spinal injury and was confined to a wheelchair. It forced him to retire from the indies and live in a rehab facility in Salisbury.
