This is absolutely nuts. I still can't believe it. Just goes to show that the old folks were right...Enjoy each day, because tomorrow is not promised to anyone.

I’ve worked a few shows with Dax. Insanely nice person, very approachable, kept up with me for years on social media to make sure I was doing well. Class act, and I’m devastated to see his passing

This is terrible. first Jocephus and now Jax. He was such a talent and a beast of a wrestler. prayers to his friends, family, and the NWA.

I first saw him in one of the smaller promotions in the South. Even in an outlaw mudshow for a hotdog and a handshake, he brought his A game. Thanks for the matches, my condolences to his family.

It's always shocking when you don't know someone is and you get this horrible surprise. Jax was a boss in the NWA. Thanks for the memories.

R.I.P Mr. Dane. You will always be remembered, always be missed.

Rest easy JD. You always made the locker room a better place. Your attitude, style, love, passion, and heart were second to none. Thank you for everything that you ever taught me. Until we meet again my brother. ❤️

So sad to hear about Jax. A great wrestling talent that reminds me of an old school bruiser. I will miss Jax as a fan. I love NWA. God bless his friends and family.

From the short time I've watched him in the NWA and ROH, he always captivated and amazed me with his presence and talent in the ring. My most heartfelt condolences to his family and friends that love him 🙏🏾

He is barely out of his 40s I can’t even imagine what he’s gone thru but he doesn’t have to worry about anything else anymore. R I P the struggle is over 😢

[toddmcgee]

Time for NJPW to start a memorial tournament about former NWA world heavyweight champion Jax Dane with stars from NJPW and ROH where the winner gets a chance at a title shot for their promotion of their respective choice

[ZanderKeen-yjew]

One of the most dominant forces in the history of the National Wrestling Alliance because of the fact that he was a 6'4, 310+ pound monster who called himself Godzilla Jax Dane and who was the first to achieve the NWA Grand Slam after winning the World Tag Team Titles with Rob Conway as The IronGodz, the unifying the National Heavyweight Championship and the North American Heavyweight Championship, and then going on a 420 day rampage as NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion by destroying one opponent after another to retain the legendary Ten Pounds of Gold. I have a replica now of the Title and I'm proud to have it now in the memory of him. The thing that hurts and is extremely fucked up is the fact that the NWA and his friends, family, and fans lost him on Christmas Day

This one is sad for me. He was so young and I enjoyed his work.❤❤❤❤❤❤
