Bids Farewell To One Of Their Own
Yesterday morning (August 27, 2004) former EUWC World Heavyweight Champion "Mr. Main Event" Rob Sampson passed away. Sampson (whose real name is Chad Dupree) suffered a heart attack following complications during a surgery he underwent earlier in the week. The EUWC and all of it's superstars are saddened by this news, and wish to express our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of such an incredible person and talent.
"Mr. Main Event" Rob Sampson made his EUWC debut in November of 2001. In his short career with the EUWC, Rob Sampson made incredible waves. In just a few short weeks, on November 30, 2001, Rob Sampson was able to defeat Larry Serson to win his first title; the EUWC United States Championship. Sampson wasn't finished there... On December 18, 2001 "Mr. Main Event" won an eight man one night tournament to be crowned the EUWC's King of the Ring.
On January 20, 2002 Rob Sampson continued his ascension to the top by defeating 29 other men to win the EUWC Royal Rumble Match at Maximum Carnage 2002. On March 24, 2002 Rob Sampson achieved his greatest goal by defeating Crimson and Buck Naked to become the EUWC World Heavyweight Champion at EUWC Battle of the Weights IV. Just one month later, Rob Sampson added another great victory to his resume by pinning STEALTH at EUWC Aftershock.
In 2003, Rob Sampson made a brief return to the EUWC to feud with long time friend Jordan Lockhart.
While Chad Dupree's (Rob Sampson) time in the EUWC was short, his impact will be remembered forever as a good friend and one of the greatest competitors to ever enter an EUWC ring. Chad will be sorely missed...
In Loving Memory of
Chad Dupree
1975-2004
