Steve Bradley, whose WWF career was largely a stint in the old Memphis developmental territory, where he was the first major opponent of Kurt Angle feuding over the Southern title, was found dead earlier today according to multiple business sources. He was found in his car in a parking lot across the street from where his old wrestling school was located in Manchester, NH.
Bradley was always regarded as a solid worker and was the best in the developmental program at the time, but likely because of an undistinguished look and health issues, never made it past television enhancement talent on the WWF stage.
The Manchester police at first confirmed the death of someone with the same real last name--Bisson--and in the same age bracket Bradley would have been, but would not release further information because it had not been confirmed his family had been notified.
He is believed to have been 32 years old.
