Chris “Cash” Bauman Tribute
On August 19, the wrestling world and Combat Zone Wrestling lost an awesome athlete that being Chris “Cash” Bauman. He debuted in CZW in 2001 and was seemingly being praised by the CZW announcers very early in his career including the host of Pro Wrestling Radio Eric Gargiulo. It is said that he lived every day to the fullest whether he was being faced with adversity or not. Chris Cash passed away in a motorcycle accident including his cousin Jeremy Bauman. Chris was 23 and Jeremy was 27. During Chris Cash’s career, he held the CZW World Tag Team titles with a member of Team Cash, that being Nate Webb. They defeated The Blackout (Ruckus and Sabian) on December 11, 2004. They held the titles until Feburary 5, 2005, when they dropped the titles to the HB Club (Jusitice Pain and Nick Cage). It is also said that Chris gave everything he had in every single wrestling match whether he was in the 1st match, in the middle of the card, or in the main event he always gave everything he had. My heart goes out to Chris’s family and friends because I know what it is like losing a family member and a friend. On 9-1-98, I lost my biological dad in a boating accident and on 3-4-05, I lost a close friend when he tragically committed suicide and not a day goes by where I don’t think of either of those 2 men because they were both very close to me. So I know what it is like to lose someone very close to me. CZW is holding a tribute show to Chris Cash on September 10, 2005 called “Down With The Sickness 4-Ever and admission is $10. For more info on that event, you can visit www.czwrestling.com and they will give you the full info on the event. In conclusion, I will just like to say that this blog is dedicated to the family and friends of Chris Cash and I do know he has passed away a little over a week ago, but I just wanted all of the best info I could find on Chris Cashs’ life and career.
Scott, great job. What a fitting tribute to an athlete taken so soon. Keep up the great work!
