Veteran wrestler "Shooter" Tony Jones has died.

Mike Bucci, who you may know better as ECW legend Nova, former WWE superstar Simon Dean, wrote up a nice piece on his Facebook account. I thought I'd share it. It would not give the option to embed. So, I've copied and pasted the text.


I just found out this morning about the passing of Shooter Tony Jones. I can’t even believe it. Tony was a great guy. He was a true APW original and one of the great guys in this sport.
I did a show for APW once and he could not have been cooler. I got to know Tony a bit during my time wrestling in California with Rick Bassman and UPW.
I know that his heart was broken after his baby girl passed away years ago. He’s with her again and I know he’s smiling.
Tony deserved much more than what he got out of the wrestling industry. I guarantee you everyone that knew him feels the same way. He was one of the good guys. Damn…. I hate this.
RIP Tony. Love you my brother…
