WWE Diva Kelly Kelly posted a message on her MySpace page this morning regarding the death of her former boyfriend, Andrew "Test" Martin.
"You were my world my best friend the one i always ran to u were always there for me..what happened to our plan...Why did god take u away from me...my heart is always with u and u only..I know your in heaven watching over me now my angel..."
The two broke up sometime last year, but remained friends.
Tampa area police issued the following statement regarding the death of Andrew Martin, who was found dead last night in his apartment in Hillsborough County.
At approximately 8:00pm on Friday, March 13, 2009, Tampa Police Officers responded to the Post Harbour Apartments, located at 725 Harbour Place Drive to check on the welfare of Mr. Andrew J. Martin. A neighbor reported that she could see into his apartment through a window and that Mr. Martin appeared motionless for several hours.
Officers entered the apartment and discovered Mr. Martin to be deceased. At this time there is no indication of foul play. The deceased was transported to the Medical Examiners Office for an autopsy to determine the cause of death. The date of the autopsy is undetermined at this time. The next of kin has been notified of the death.
Andrew "Test" Martin is a former wrestling champion with the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment).
World Wrestling Entertainment® has been made aware of the passing of Andrew Martin. The WWE extends its deepest condolences to the Martin family. Mr. Martin was under contract with WWE at various time periods and performed under the name "Test." He last performed for the WWE in February 2007.
According to multiple reports, former WWE wrestler Andrew "Test" Martin passed away yesterday at his apartment in Tampa.
He was just four days shy of his 34th birthday.
Tampa police confirmed the death in the condo, but wouldn't indentify the name. However, numerous sources within wrestling have confirmed it to be him.
No details regarding his death were reported.
In February 2007, Martin was suspended by World Wrestling Entertainment due to a violation of the company's drug testing policy and released from his contract shortly thereafter. Martin made a few appearances for TNA Wrestling later in the year and often talked about retiring from the business, but has made several appearances overseas since then, including working a match in Japan last month. Martin was scheduled to head to Europe for a wrestling tour in Europe on Monday.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. - This week on SmackDown, undertakings of intense redemption, matrimonial fallout, extreme family dysfunction, triumph teamwork in defense of gold, and qualification against all odds all served as hazard signs on the epic road to the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania.
Undertaker def. Vladimir Kozlov (WATCH | PHOTOS) After shocking the WWE Universe by getting pinned by The Moscow Mauler two weeks ago, The Deadman redeemed himself with absolute fury, crushing Vladimir Kozlovs undefeated record on SmackDown with the destructive force of his Tombstone Piledriver. The decisive victory gives The Phenom a firestorm of momentum in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania, and echoes his haunting message to opponent Shawn Michaels that it can be hell trying to get to heaven. (Match preview)
World Heavyweight Champion Edge def. Kofi Kingston (Non-title) (WATCH | PHOTOS) An emotionally affected Rated-R Superstar resurfaced for the first time since John Cena revealed security footage on Monday Night Raw of his wife - SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero - kissing Big Show. And from the moment Edge entered the ring, he seemed distracted, as if his thoughts were completely consumed by the state of his marriage and his WrestleMania opponents in the World Heavyweight Championship Triple Treat Match (Match preview). Kofi Kingston, however, only had revenge on his mind after The Ultimate Opportunists attack at No Way Out that cost him his Elimination Chamber spot and allowed Edge to capture the title. But despite the determined Raw Superstars thirst for retribution and an extremely hard fought match, Edges sharpshooter was Ja-makin Kofi crazy enough to tap out.
Matt Hardy Tells All (WATCH | PHOTOS) After referencing Jeff Hardy's suspension and alluding to the fact that he may have caused the awful events that have continued the black cloud hanging over Jeff Hardys head the stairwell attack and the car and pyrotechnics accidents an incensed Matt Hardy produced from his pocket the burned dog collar of Jack, Jeffs dog that died in his house fire. Without music or fireworks paving the way for his entrance, Jeff made a subdued, yet determined entrance. Before long, Jeff finally gave in and attacked Matt with reckless abandon. Although Matt looked as if he might show some remorse in that instant, the traces of a menacing smile crept on his lips as he walked up the metal ramp, implying otherwise. Later, the shocking announcement rang forth that Jeff and Matt Hardy will settle sibling rivalry at WrestleMania. (Match preview)
World Tag Team Championship The Miz & John Morrison def. WWE Tag Team Champions Carlito & Primo (World Tag Team Championship Match) (WATCH | PHOTOS) Two weeks after The Colon brothers successfully defended their WWE Tag Team Championships against Miz & Morrison, the Dirt Sheet duo returned the favor in spades. As both Primo and Miz were being taken out of the action, The Shaman of Sexy took full advantage of the turmoil, hitting Carlito with the Moonlight Drive for the win. After the match, the Bella Twins once again abandoned the WWE Champions and left with the victors.
Finlay def. The Brian Kendrick (Money in the Bank Qualifying Match) (WATCH | PHOTOS) Despite being sucker punched by Ezekiel Jackson before the opening bell and falling prey to his numerous distractions thereafter, Finlay ultimately denied The Brain Kendrick his finishing maneuver of the same name. And after The Belfast Brawler powered his way over The Kendrick with the quick and painful Celtic Cross, Finlay stood in triumph, knowing that he had captured the last coveted spot in the WrestleMania Money in the Bank Ladder Match. (Match preview)
United States Champion Shelton Benjamin & Chavo Guerrero def. Montel Vontavious Porter & R-Truth (Tag Team Match) (PHOTOS) The tension surrounding the United States Championship has been reaching epic proportions over the past couple months. And it only promises to become more intense during the weeks to come. After The Ballin Superstar threw the interfering Chavo Guerrero from the ring, The Gold Standard struck with Pay Dirt, allowing him to reign supreme over his fellow WrestleMania Money in the Bank participant (Match preview).
Womens Champion Melina & Maria def. Divas Champion Maryse & Michelle McCool (Divas Tag Team Match) (PHOTOS) Any time an athlete of Womens Champion Melinas caliber visits SmackDown to team with Maria against Divas Champion Marie and Michelle, the WWE Universe has to expect the unexpected. But when Michelle wouldnt extend her arm to tag into the match, Maryse got more than she bargained for, falling to Melina and her inside cradle. After the bell, Maryse and Michelle decided to keep the action going, brawling in a whirlwind of Diva brutality.
The reason for Marella's absence this week is because he was apparently not brought to Monday's RAW/ECW taping in Jacksonville. Marella was nowhere to be seen on either program. He also didn't appear at house show events over the weekend.
As reported earlier, one way WWE is looking to cut costs is by not flying in every single active talent on the roster to the weekly tapings unless they actually have plans to use them. In the past, WWE would fly in everyone on the roster whether they had plans to use them or not. Last week, Cryme Tyme weren't brought to the weekly RAW taping for the first time since their return to the company.
According to Dave Meltzer, WWE is also down on Marella's character right now.
While many former women's wrestlers have been contacted to participate in the 25-Diva Battle Royal at Wrestlemania XXV in Houston, WWE Hall of Famer Mae Young has not (at last word).
Young wasn't even aware of such a match until a friend of hers called and asked her if she was going to be in it.
It's been speculated that after her fall during her last wrestling appearance in November (she threw a few forearms, got dizzy, and fell down), officials are now realizing she's far too old to perform in the ring. Young is 86-years-old for those keeping score.
Nonetheless, Young will likely be brought in during WrestleMania weekend because she always is she just won't be competing.
Two more former WWE Divas in Nora "Molly Holly" Greenwald and Terri Runnels will not be taking part in the 25-Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXV in Houston.
While Greenwald has no plans to participate in the match, she will be signing autographs at the Axxess event during WrestleMania weekend. In other Greenwald news, she will be departing on Monday for a two-week trip to Afghanistan.
Runnels has plans to join Greenwald on the trip as she will be taking part in the 10-day Divas of Wrestling Goodwill Military Tour. Regarding the 25-Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania, Runnels has no interest in wrestling women.
"Female matches are not my thing," Runnels commented.
Runnels still has WrestleMania-related plans though. Following the trip to Afghanistan, she will be hosting an unofficial WrestleMania XXV event during WrestleMania weekend in Taylor, Michigan.
Vince McMahon isn't a big fan of ECW wrestler Christian, according to one former WWE employee. It's no secret that the WWE chairman doesn't view him as a "star."
"He cares more about the doormat at his house than Christian," said the former employee. "I don't understand why you re-up with the guy and then don't do anything with him."
In another Christian note, he told friends TNA's final offer to him was a five-year deal worth $2.5 million for a certain number of dates per year. However, one company source disputes the contract offer as Christian would have jumped at it.
The two time NWA World Heavyweight Champion made it clear to TNA president Dixie Carter that his lack of faith in the creative team was a big reason for his departure from the organization.

- The current plan for the upcoming WWE draft is to strengthen RAW's roster and to further develop talent on Smackdown. Of course, plans can change on a daily basis.
Former WWE Superstar Kizarny (real name Nick Cvjetkovich) posted a blog on his MySpace account (www.myspace.com/theoriginalsinn) yesterday and he doesn't appear to be upset over being let go by World Wrestling Entertainment earlier in the week. He doesn't have plans to quit wrestling either.
"I just want to take a moment to thank the Rasslin Universe for your kind words and support for me both in the WWE and beyhond!!! I am not gonna complain or be bitter," Kizarny wrote. "I will simply prove myself even more as I am One of a Kind. Btw I wasn't kidding in my Feizirst Bleizog when I told you that I suck at technology, I almost threw my laptop from my porch into the waves of Wizard Beach because just as I had finished typing my Seizecond Bleizog I hit the wrong button and poof... GONE!!!"
Kizarny added that he's "too stupid and crazy to ever quit" the wrestling business and he's going continue to entertain the fans whether he's in a "SmackDown ring or not." Kizarny plans on taking indy bookings soon and taking "this rasslin-sideshow on the road."
When John Laurinaitis called Jackie Gayda to invite her to participate in the 25 Diva Battle Royal at Wrestlemania, she initially thought that he was calling to say that her husband Charlie Haas was being released.
WWE Intercontinental Champion John Bradshaw Layfield, 42, has been telling people backstage that he will likely be retiring from the ring by May. His back problems that caused him to originally retire in 2006 have resurfaced and his retirement from WWE appears imminent.

As noted earlier, Layfield recently claimed he would be doing something historical that would shock the wrestling world at Wrestlemania XXV.

In an interview with the Between the Ropes radio show last night, WWE developmental wrestler DH Smith admitted he'd like to be part of Randy Orton's Legacy faction.
"There's a lot of talk about a lot of things," Smith said. "It's one of those things where you can't exactly believe everything you read on the internet... I think I'd be a perfect fit. I'm big, I'm strong, I've got the ability. I'm working at getting the personality. I've been getting a lot more confident and a lot more mean in the ring. Whether I'm with the Legacy or not, I can prove on any brand that I can carry my own legacy."
Smith also offered his comments on the New Hart Foundation not materializing in WWE.
"Nothing really happened," Smith said. "There was a slot for Tyson Kidd to go on ECW. He's a great wrestler. He's one of my great friends. He's gone up there. It wasn't one of those things that I decided... He's doing good. I hope he does really well with Natalya. Maybe I'll join him someday in ECW, who knows?"
Smith also commented on growing up as the son of "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith, being stretched by Stu Hart, his training, his weekly schedule in Florida Championship, and more.
