PWInsider.com is sad to pass along that longtime Pittsburgh-area journeyman talent and trainer Tom "TC Reynolds" Buzanoski passed away this week.
Trained by WWE Hall of Famer Dominic DeNucci and Geeto Mongol, Reynolds was a regular for the Ohio, West Virginia and Pittsburgh independent scene from the mid-1990s to early 2000s. He also made appearances for WWF television doing enhancement work. Initially breaking in as Tommy "Thunderbolt" Patterson, he would change his name to TC Reynolds. For a time, he teamed with Preston Steele as The American Patriots and later worked with Bill Fishinger under the USA Express team name.
Later on, Reynolds would work as "Battman" (guess what he was dressed as) and during a time period Doink the Clowns were running rampant across the indy scene, Reynolds would regularly use that gimmick. He last wrestled around 2010.
Later in his career, Reynolds would have a hand in training a number of stars, including former ROH Tag Team Champion HC Loc. Outside of pro wrestling, he worked for many years for the PA Department of Transportation.
PWInsider.com sends our condolences to the family, friends and fans of TC Reynolds.
