Balls Mahoney, former ECW and WWE Superstar found dead at 44.
Jon Rechner, most notably known as “Balls Mahoney” has passed away at the age of 44. John had a small stint in WWE but his main work was involved with the ECW brand in the mid 90’s to early 2000’s.
News first broke from Johnny Candido’s account:
“@turnbuckleMag @apter1wrestling balls mahoney just passed away, I’m at a loss 4 words but feel I need to tell every1
Balls had taken a fall and injured his hip. Mahoney was using a walker up until his passing, not being able to recover from his fall.
Hard drugs and internal damage to his organs may have took a huge toll. It’s believed Mahoney was a regular user of meth. The drug eats away at bone structure and chances are Balls may have had internal bleeding from that incident. The lifelong effects of The drug, such as loss of teeth and deterioration of bone density, may explain his inability to recover.
Our hearts and condolences are with the Rechner family during this time.
