INDEPENDENT WRESTLER WALT 'BRAXX' HOLLOWAY PASSES AWAY AFTER SHOOTING

Matt Tremont announced yesterday that BRAXX (real name Walt Holloway), who competed for Tremont's H20 Wrestling among other Northeastern independent promotions passed away after a shooting incident.  Holloway was only 31 years old.

Tremont's announcement:

"Just got some news that my homie Walt aka @braxx__unleashed has passed. We first met at Superkrazze Wrestling and later came to H2O. He would come hang out at GCW as well. From day 1 was respectful and super cool and chill! He wrestled each other a few times & we tagged together. He was meant to be a dominant hardcore giant in the ring and had a big heart outside of it. Kept in touch after we moved and always sent each other funny reels on IG. I was and always will be a Braxx guy! He was my guy, a friend and a Deathmatch warrior. My thoughts and prayers out to his family. I know Braxx is above now and with his momma who he loved dearly. Love ya Braxx 4 ever! ❤️ #HeAnitNvaScared"

Philadelphia's Channel 6 is reporting that Holloway passed following a shooting late Wednesday.  When police on patrol responded after hearing gunshots in the Point Breeze area of South Philly at 10:30 PM, they found Holloway shot several times.  Holloway was taken to the hospital but did not survive, passing away a short time later.  The belief is the shooting was in relation to a previous incident Holloway was involved in the day before and they are currently searching for the shooter.  Reports are Holloway was shot at a close range.  As of this writing, there has been no announced arrest.

PWInsider.com sends our deepest condolences to the family, friends and fans of Braxx.
