Klinger passed at age 40. 

Via the official wXw Germany X account, it was announced that 20-year veteran John Klinger passed away at the age of 40. 

Klinger, who went by the name ‘Bad Bones’, began his in-ring career in the early 2000s and wXw was among the promotions that he kick-started his in-ring career with. 

His last documented match was on May 11th against Flash Morgan Webster. Below is wXw Germany’s post

We say goodbye to “Bad Bones” John Klinger.

John Klinger was one of the defining wrestlers at wXw for over a decade. He won all of the major titles at wXw and won both 16 Carat Gold and Shortcut to the Top. In his almost 450 matches in the wXw ring, he always worked hard and did his best to excite his fans.

At just 40 years old, John died far too early, shortly before his planned retirement. We wish his family and friends strength in this difficult time.

POST Wrestling would like to extend our condolences to the family, friends and loved ones of John Klinger.
