Hayward (USA, California) - Unbelievable tragedy. Just one week after the sudden death of "Sabu" (†60), real name Terry Michael Brunk , the wrestling world is mourning the loss of another of its legends.

Former WWE star Mike Raybeck (†63), better known by his ring names "Maxx Justice" and "Mike Diamond", has died at the age of 63 in a tragic accident in the US state of California .

This was confirmed by "All Pro Wrestling" yesterday, Sunday, and the circumstances of his death were also announced.

"His life was cut short by a bicycle accident in which he was struck by a vehicle near Chabot College last Friday," the promotion and training school announced in an official statement on the social media platform Instagram. A black-and-white picture of the wrestling icon was also posted.

Raybeck began his career in the "All Pro Wrestling" boot camp, where he was crowned "Universal Champion" five times. In 1996, he made the leap into the ring of the former World Wrestling Federation (WWF; now WWE), which made him a well-known figure in the Californian wrestling scene.
